Stray Cat Overpopulation

Too many cats are being born then dropped, unwanted, at a shelter or abandoned to fend for themselves. 

Most of these cats are killed in shelters for lack of people to adopt them. Cats left to fend for themselves often go onto to produce more unwanted kittens as they are undesexed.

The key to stopping this cycle is to desex every single cat, male or female, stray or companion cat. The other main problem is that many irresponsible people are abandoning their cats for someone else to sort out the problem.

Cat Rescue Christchurch encourages all cats and kittens to be desexed before being adopted from shelters, rescue organisations, pet shops, breeders and individuals. Kittens can safely be desexed from as young as 7 weeks of age.
