How many Litters of Kittens can a female cat have in a lifetime if not spayed?

Have you ever wondered how many litters of kittens a cat can have?


Well here are some basic numbers to show how fast cat populations can get out of hand.


The average number of litters a fertile cat can produce in one year is 3.

The average number of kittens in a feline litter is 4–6.

In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can theoretically produce 420,000 cats.

Only 1 in 12 of those 420,000 cats born find a home. :o(

Even if you found homes for all your cats, you are still taking away homes that other homeless cats could have had by adding to the population.

There are no excuses for your allowing a pet cat to have kittens.

Please Spay your cat!!!!

Kennels are starting to get a little bit of TLC

Thank You to local volunteer who is starting to fix some of the kennel doors, I will update the Blog with his handy work soon. If there are any other volunteers willing to assist with the kennel repairs or other repairs at the shelter please contact us.

Several donations for our kennel fencing are starting to come in, checkout the front page of the Shelter's website for a list of donors.

Then there were 3

We three little kittens all arrived at the Shelter today, not altogether as seen here enjoying each others company. Two of us were dropped off in a beer box from someone's doorstep and the other was a 'toss and run'. Very young and very scared unsure of their fate hoping that all the strangers looking into their cage will not harm them.

If anyone has a soft spot for these little kittens please contact the shelter.

Jackson is re-born

This little rescue dog is on his way back to recovery. He was covered in fleas, ticks and sores all over his back end when rescued yesterday and arrived at the shelter.

First pics are before the Grooming, with already one bath.











Back from the local Groomer (who donated their time) Jackson says " I feel awesome now let's go for a drive around town and head home".






Jackson had a big day at the groomer and the vet. He is now enjoying some well deserved R & R.

New Kid at the SkateBoard Park

This video was forwarded to me this week, it is amazing the talent some dogs have. There are very few people that can do these skateboard tricks.

Lost Kittie - Delilah

I have a beautiful amber eyed pure white turkish angora female cat 1 year old Delilah. She weighs 11 lbs. or did before she disappeared. She has been missing from the Trider Road Maccan area since Sunday July 19th. We have searched everywhere and I know your shelter is aware but I thought maybe She did have a pink collar with a tag saying who she was and where she lived but those can come off. We re hoping that she does come home and then she will have two sisters. I hope she likes that.

Thank you for listening.

Vicky

P.S. Congratulations to Maddy and Christine that are going home with Vicky.
