Neptune’s story highlights the challenges of kitten season, where many kittens suffer as their moms are left unspayed. Pregnant at just 5-7 months old (est.), she gave birth at 7-9 months, weighing only 5 lbs herself! Her situation, which is all too common, nearly cost her kittens’ lives. Spaying prevents such situations. With your generous donations, we can care for community cats like Neptune, allowing them to thrive without the burden of constant pregnancies. Neptune never has to worry about taking care of babies again and as a bonus, male cats will leave her alone since she will never go into heat again. #donationshelp #spayandstay #ifyoufeedthemfixthem #kittenseason #kittens #neonatalkittens #spayandneuter #tnr #tnrworks #Trapneuterreturn #colonycats #communitycat #blackcat
