Prevention Is Compassion.
Spaying and neutering is the single most effective way to reduce the number of stray and feral cats in our community.
It prevents suffering before it starts.
Spay & Neuter Saves Lives.
1️⃣ Prevents Overpopulation
One un-spayed female cat will have 2 – 3 litters every year. Spaying that one female cat saves one hundred or more kittens from our streets.
2️⃣ Improves Health
Reduces the risk of certain cancers and prevents pyometra. Reduces the urge to roam, decreasing the risk of injury, fighting, and contracting diseases like FIV/FeLV
3️⃣ Protects the Community
Fewer stray cats mean less suffering, less nuisance behaviors, less distress for compassionate community members.
Understanding TNR (Trap–Neuter–Return)
TNR is a humane approach to managing feral cat populations. Cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and returned to their managed colony where caretakers provide food and shelter.
Hearts to Homes supports colony caretakers in Brantford & Brant County through food donations and assistance with spay/neuter and vaccination costs.
