On April 29, PAWS Chicago is doing something big for some of the city’s smallest, most vulnerable residents. In just one day, our expert medical team, operations staff, volunteers, and colony caretakers will perform 200 spay/neuter surgeries on feral cats — preventing thousands of future litters and giving outdoor cats a healthier, safer life.
Spay/neuter is the single most effective way to end the killing of homeless pets. A female cat can produce up to five litters a year. Without intervention, the math—and the suffering—adds up quickly.
