Alley Cat Allies sponsored a special “Spay-a-Thon” Saturday, March 9 in which 240 feral cats were neutered at the Heaven Can Wait Society of Las Vegas, NV.
The Spay-a-Thon aimed to curb “kitten season” among the feral cats living in and around Las Vegas. Volunteers with the Clark County Community Cat Coalition (C5) initially helped humanely trap 188 cats to neuter using state-of-the-art “high volume” spay/neuter techniques at the Heaven Can Wait clinic before they were returned to their colony site.
Springtime is “kitten season” the time of year when female cats go into heat and give birth to litters of kittens after only 63 days of pregnancy. Kitten season is perhaps the most important time of the year to champion high-volume, high-quality TNR, because it improves the lives of the cats while humanely ending the breeding cycle among feral cat colonies.
