Low-Cost Male Cat Neuter Program Neutering is a surgical procedure that removes the reproductive organs of your male cat. Neutering is very important to control the pet population and contributes to your cat’s health and well-being. It can also reduce medical and behavioral problems.
Elimination of Unwanted Litters Neutering your cat ensures that your pet won’t contribute to the feline overpopulation problem. Even a cat that lives indoors may escape and produce kittens if not neutered. Each year, millions of homeless cats are euthanized or end up in shelters due to a lack of good homes.
