Why neutering is one of the kindest things you can do for your male cat

Neutering male cats is good for them because they are less likely to...

• Fight other males - so less chance of getting injured or catching and spreading diseases, such as FIV (feline AIDS) and feline leukaemia.
• Go a long way looking for female cats to mate - so less chance of getting run over, lost or stolen.
• Spray strong-smelling urine in your home.
• Get prostate or testicular cancer.
  

GAAS took Wesley in in March 2023. He was an unneutered stray who, because of years of fighting other males, had FIV and an eye infection that made him blind. 

As well as being neutered, Wesley needed major surgery to remove his eyes. His story has a happy ending, but might have been very different if someone had cared enough to neuter him as a kitten.
