Spay & Neuter
By spaying or neutering your pet, you’ll help control the pet homelessness crisis..
The pet homelessness epidemic, which leads to the annual euthanasia of millions of healthy dogs and cats in the US due to a shortage of available homes, may be managed by spaying or neutering your pet. Additionally, spaying (for female pets) and neutering (for male dogs) your animals has behavioral and medicinal advantages.
Here are some of the medical benefits:
-Your female pet will be healthier and enjoy a longer life. About 50% of dogs and 90% of cats have breast tumors, which are malignant or carcinogenic, and uterine infections, which can be avoided by spaying. The greatest defense against these illnesses is to spay your cat before her first heat.
-Testicular cancer and some prostate issues can be avoided by neutering your male partner.
And behavioral benefits:
-The female pet you spayed won't become pregnant. During the mating season, female cats often go into heat four to five days every three weeks; however, cycles might vary. They will urinate more often, sometimes all over the home, and yowl to attract potential mates!
-The likelihood of your male dog wandering off from home will decrease. Finding inventive methods to get out of the house is only one of the many things an intact guy will try in search of a mate. After being let to wander freely, he fights with other male animals and runs the risk of getting hurt in traffic.
-Perhaps your neutered man will behave better. It is more common for unneutered cats and dogs to indicate their territory by sprinkling foul-smelling urine throughout the house. After being neutered, your dog may be less prone to mount inanimate things, humans, and other dogs. By neutering early, certain aggressiveness issues can be prevented.
Debunking Spay/Neuter Myths and Misconceptions
-Your pet won't gain weight after being spayed or neutered.Your pet will gain weight due to overfeeding and lack of activity, not neutering. As long as you continue to exercise and keep an eye on her food consumption, your pet will stay slim and healthy.
-Since neutering doesn't totally remove testosterone levels or break bad patterns, it's not a panacea for all behavioral issues. Neutering won't totally get rid of bad habits or behaviors; the results may vary according on the dog's history, physiology, and personality. Depending on the dog's unique personality and past, neutering may not always result in a change in behavior.
INTEGRITY & TRANSPARENCY
When choosing an Ortiz Sottish Fold, you're probably considering its kind (e.g., Ortiz Sottish Fold Straight), color, and price range. Where you find your kitten is equally significant; when you think about the amount of time you'll be spending with your kitten, the breeder or cattery you select to adopt them from is a huge decision. We think that a respectable cattery should not leave any room for doubt regarding its adoption procedure.
