Happy Spay Day! We’re so happy that there’s a day dedicated to taking care of our companion animals and spreading awareness about the devastating overpopulation crisis. Did you know that not spaying or neutering dogs and cats can lead to unwanted animals?
Reflect on this: One unaltered female cat and her offspring can produce an estimated 370,000 cats in only seven years, and a female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in six years.
Let’s break it down a little easier with a visual:
One unspayed cat and her kittens (and their kittens) can produce 36 kittens in just 16 months!
This makes the existing overpopulation problem even worse, leaving animals without homes, food, or water. Millions of dogs and cats end up in animal shelters across the country every year simply because there aren’t enough good homes for them. Spaying or neutering your animal companion will help control the problem.
Here’s what YOU can do to help:
Let us know how it goes in the comments!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
