How Many Feral Cats Does it Take....

Although its hard to get reliable estimates, did you know that there are between 13 and 80 million feral cats in the United States?  It is estimated that 53% of those feral cats are female and that each female is capable of producing 1.4 litters of kittens per year.  That comes out to alot of homeless cats.  One way to prevent this exploding population is through spay/neuter.  By spay/neutering pets, that stray that is hanging by your porch or office, and those few that are hanging by the dumpster behind a restaurant, we can help prevent homeless, unwanted and nuisance animals.  Low cost and free spay/neuter is available statewide.  Call the Spay Spa & Neuter Nook at 443-607-6496 for more information.
