In the spotlight: World Spay Day 2016.

Today is World Spay Day, a day that shines a spotlight on the importance of getting your pet neutered. We think that neutering is the only effective way to reduce the number of unwanted cats in the UK.

In 2014 we helped neuter 163,000 cats, including 28,000 feral cats, making us the largest single feline neutering group in the world.

Neutering is a surgical operation which stops female cats from becoming pregnant and male cats from making females pregnant. Our recommended age for neutering your pet cat is four months.
