$10 Spay and Neuter for Cats and Kittens - January 1-31st!

By Franki Williams

🐱FUN FACT🐱: Did you know that the breeding season for cats depends on the number of daylight hours and environmental temperature? This means cats typically go into "heat" during the spring, summer, and fall and can have multiple estrous cycles (and litters of kittens!) during the warmer months.   That means NOW is the best time to get your kitty fixed. To help "Beat the Heat", the Humane Society of Ventura County, along with our partner organizations listed below, is offering a great promotion to kick-off 2020. All cat and kitten spay and neuter surgeries are just ten dollars throughout the month of January. Please call us to schedule an appointment, and as always, feral cats in traps are free of charge.
