A stitch in time saves nine, or ninety!
All vets and charities agree that neutering or spaying cats and kittens is essential to improve their quality of life.
All too often, we see young cats – little more than kittens themselves – having large litters, with no suitable homes in place.
Likewise, unneutered males are prone to wandering, fighting and disease – ending up homeless, and on the streets. They can father scores of kittens.
All of this can be prevented.
At Worthing Cat Welfare Trust we rescue, rehabilitate and re-home over 300 felines every year, about a third of them kittens. While we adore kittens, this stretches our resources and it can sometimes be difficult to find them loving homes.
That is why we are offering a subsidised neutering, spaying and microchipping scheme for owners on lower incomes and/or in receipt of benefits.
In return for a £45 donation towards neutering or spaying and a £15 donation towards microchipping, our Worthing-based veterinary partners will carry out the procedure and Worthing Cat Welfare Trust will cover the rest of the bill.
If you prefer to take your cat/kitten to your own vet, please contact us for costings.
It is also a legal requirement to microchip all cats over the age of 20 weeks. This is invaluable if they going missing and need to be reunited with owners. As above, we can help with costs for lower-income owners.
