Spay and Neuter Awareness Month
Currently there are millions of cats in shelters, and with kitten season approaching soon even more will be born without a forever home.
You can help by getting your cats (or any pets) spayed or neutered. You can also volunteer with your local humane societies to participate in TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs for feral cats.
The only love your kitties need is from you. Talk to your vet about spay and neutering for more info.
