The female cat comes into 'heat' or estrus many times each year. Each heat generally lasts several days. If she is not bred, she will return to heat in one to three weeks. Cats are seasonally polyestrous, which means that they have multiple estrus or heat cycles during the breeding season.

Pregnancy can be dangerous for a mother cat. You’ve got to put a stop to this mating behaviour.

Desexing prevents unwanted or unexpected kittens from entering the world, reducing the strain on overcrowded animal shelters. It evens out your cat’s temperaments and reduces their risk of developing health complications and diseases like cancer. The average lifespan of spayed and neutered cats is demonstrably longer than the lifespan of those not.

By spaying or neutering your pet, you can help protect them against certain illnesses, perhaps address certain unwanted behaviours and save money. Contact your veterinarian or your local low-cost spay/neuter clinic to discuss and/or schedule your pet’s appointment and encourage your family and friends to do the same.
