The urgent need for spaying and neutering pets has increased as some animal shelters become overwhelmed, and a veterinarian shortage has limited services around the state.  Corey Viars from the Wisconsin Humane Society of Green Bay and Door County Campus says the neutering and spaying of pets control the population of cats and dogs and can mean a longer and healthier life for your pets.  He shares the many reasons you should have your cat or dog neutered or spayed. 

One unspayed cat can produce over 60 kittens in five years, but only 25 percent of outdoor kittens survive due to starvation, disease, or harsh weather. Tuesday, February 25, is World Spay Day, which was founded in 1995 by the Animal Foundation.
