KAR Neutering campaign
Neuter & Return Programme........more...
A neuter and return programme for dogs began early in 2004. This programme calls for stray and abandoned dogs to be taken from the streets, neutered, treated for worms and parasites. A coloured numbered tag is clipped to the dogs ear and the healthy animals are returned into the community.
The on going cat neutering campaign sees that feral cats are trapped and taken to the vet to be neutered, once they have recovered from the operation they are returned to their previous habitat. All cats that have been neutered by KAR have a clipped left ear, an internationally recognised sign, making them easily identifiable and Preventing them from being caught a second time.
All animals that are rescued by the centre are neutered as soon as they are old enough. If a puppy is re-homed before it is old enough to have the operation, KAR will pay for it to be neutered at a later date.

Myths and truths about neutering your pet
|
Myths |
Truths |
|
Females should have at least one heat and be allowed to have one litter. |
Absolutely not. Going into heat even once is unnecessary for a female dog or cat to mature. Having a litter will not improve her health or permanently change her personality. The best time to spay is before the first heat cycle. This almost eliminates the chance of breast cancer later in life. |
|
Spaying and neutering makes pets fat and lazy. |
Too much food and too little exercise make pets fat and lazy, not spaying or neutering. Spayed or neutered pets require fewer calories. Cut down on their meals and make time for walks or play. An aging pet will also require fewer calories. |
|
Children should see the "Miracle of Birth". |
There are many ways to teach children about birth that do not result in unwanted animals. A visit to a farm, kennel, or zoo can help parents teach their children about the birth process. Videos, films, and books are good aids as well. |
|
It's unnatural. It's tampering with Nature. |
People tampered with nature when they began domesticating dogs and cats thousands of years ago. Nature did not intend for thousands of animals to be born into the world where they would surely not survive. It's kinder to eliminate the compulsion to breed by spaying or neutering. Pets will be healthier, less distracted, and more content. |
The statistics show that the number of cats and dogs neutered by KAR rises yearly:
2002 - 255 dogs/cats
2003 - 402 dogs/cats
2004 - 482 dogs/cats
2005 - 596 dogs/cats
2006 - 684 dogs/cats
2007 - 781 dogs/cats
2008 - 855 dogs/cats
We believe that neutering an animal is the most beneficial and humane way of controlling the population of unwanted dogs and cats.
