The ISPCA is appealing to pet owners to spay or neuter their pets as early as possible, emphasising the positive benefits and the most effective way to help control pet overpopulation.
The charity is asking the public to talk to their vet as soon as possible. The ISPCA is also recommends anyone thinking about getting a new pet to give a rescued animal a chance by adopting a dog or cat from the ISPCA or another animal welfare charity.
All ISPCA rescued cats and dogs will already be spayed or neutered and puppies/kittens will be, when they are old enough.
