The benefits of Feline Fix by 5 include a decrease in cancer, improved behavior, and a reduction in cat overpopulation.
What is it?
Veterinarians have always recommended spaying or neutering cats by 6 months. Yet, cats are sexually mature by 5 months. Firehouse has joined the national movement to spay or neuter cats one month earlier.
Why?
There are many medical, behavioral, and community benefits including the decrease of:
-breast cancer
-behavioral problems
-pet overpopulation
Dr John Faught notes: “For the first time in my career, there is a real consensus of feline experts and advocates using scientific data and research to agree that fixing cats by 5 months is best. This has been a debate over decades but I am proud that Firehouse is joining forces with such progressive groups regarding feline medicine.”
Female and male kittens face behavior changes when they reach maturity. Males might even “spray” home surfaces with a very strong urine odor.
