Good Mews

Spay/Neuter

Good Mews is proud of the fact that every cat that leaves our shelter is already spayed or neutered.

But did you know there are currently 8 million dogs, cats, puppies and kittens euthanized in the United States every year simply because there aren’t enough homes for all of them. Besides preventing more unwanted puppies and kittens, spaying and neutering your dog or cat prevents diseases and prevents many behavioral problems that occur in unaltered pets.

The risk of mammary cancer is greatly reduced if you spay your pet before age one. Also, cancers of the reproductive organs are eliminated. Behavioral problems such as aggressiveness towards same sex dogs, marking or spraying in the house and roaming to find a mate are also eliminated or reduced if you spay or neuter your pet.

Here are some resources for low cost options that may help you!
