As a kid, I would have been all over my mom til she got my pet spayed,... but then again, I wouldn't have HAD to be all over her. We knew that if you got a pet - you got it spayed at 6 months. and if I knew I'd have no influence over my parents and how they'd respect my pet, I'd tell them I wasn't interested in having one. And spays? Like I said, there are FREE ones out there, ones you as a minor can find and get for your pet even if you don't have a part time job.

We are not trying to make you feel like a bad pet parent. If you feel that way, its your own guilt reflected upon yourself knowing you are wrong. All that we have told you isn't something new and shocking. There have been "spay and Neuter" drives in every area of the country for a good 20 years. Ignorance doesn't make animal neglect right. And NOT spaying your cat is neglect. "Getting rid" of a pet is neglect.

Too darn bad if you don't like the truth.
