Overpopulation Crisis

The overpopulation crisis in Regina is a community based problem. It is the direct result of people not sterilizing their cats and letting them roam.

Sadly, it is the cats that pay the price of overpopulation. Too many cats and not enough homes for all of them means many are left to fend for themselves on the streets. A high concentration of cats means more competition for food and shelter, and an increased risk of disease and injury. Faced with harsh Saskatchewan winters, many of these cats suffer as they struggle to survive.

No rescue or shelter can do it alone. Everybody needs to do their part.

It happens quick

One female cat is able produce 12 kittens in just over one year. Within months her kittens start reproducing and the number of kittens explodes. Don’t get us wrong – we love kittens, but we hate seeing them struggling to survive on the streets. The way to prevent that suffering is spaying.

Cats don’t add, they multiply!
In six years, one female cat and her kittens can produce over 26,000 cats!
