What does spay and neuter mean?

FAQ
They are the terms used for sterilizing cats. Female cats are spayed by removing their reproductive organs. Male cats are neutered or castrated. Both surgeries require general anesthetic and are performed by a veterinarian. Trap-neuter-return is a humane approach to ending feral cat overpopulation. Caregivers who are feeding feral cats, trap them in humane live traps, take the cats to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and after they are recovered, they return the cats to where they are fed.

Remember even kittens can start mating as early as six months. Unaltered cats and dogs have urges that can make them irritable and anxious. They may yowl or whine, fight with other cats, and/or destroy objects in the house. Whole male cats and dogs are more likely to roam, fight and spray indiscriminately.

The caregiver contacts FCCO, is screened to ensure the cat is truly feral or stray and not a domestic housecat, that the cat is welcome where s/he is currently being fed, and the caregiver will continue to feed the cat for the rest of the cat's life. Each caregiver also signs a release form certifying they meet our criteria. With this information confirmed, the cat is then given a reservation for a clinic.
