Help Stop Cat Overpopulation: Spay or Neuter Your Cat
According to the ASPCA, approximately eight to 12 million companion animals enter shelters each year, and approximately five to nine million of those animals are euthanized; about 70 percent of those are cats.
Help the Humane Society of Huron Valley (Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105) help stop cat overpopulation:

- Contact HSHV (or your local shelter or humane society) about homeless or wild cats in your area: If you are caring for feral or stray cats please give HSHV a call at (734) 662-5585. The shelter is currently starting a trap, neuter and return (TNR) program.
