Are you Guilty?

Millions of unwanted and homeless cats are born in our country each year. During the peak of the kitten seasonfrom late April to Septemberpounds and humane shelters kill unwanted and abandoned cats at the rate of over ONE PER MINUTE. Others less fortunate are left to wandereasy prey for larger animals, easy targets for automobiles and easy marks for cruel pranksters and fanatics. If they do survive these hazards and the elements, they soon attain maturity and bring forth five or six kittens, mostly females, to continue this vicious cycle. Every cat owner whose pet is un-spayed or un-neutered, and allowed to roam, must bear the guilt for the terrible overpopulation. Rememberone female cat's cumulative offspring in ten years could total over 80 million!

Two UNCONTROLLED BREEDING CATS... plus all their kittens and all their kittens' kittens, if none are ever neutered or spayed, add up to:

1. 2 litters per year
2. 2.8 surviving kittens per litter
3. 10 year breeding life
4. in 10 years multiply to 80,399,780
