  Great to have an offer like this, but:

  Desexing isn't just about eliminating potential unwanted litters, it can actually make your cat healthier and happier.

  Removing reproductive organs from animals make them healthier? OP, please shed some light on this statement.

    Hi rawm, benefits of cat desexing are as follows:

    • Usually more affectionate.
    • Less inclined to roam, therefore less likely to become lost or hit by a car.
    • Better protected from certain illnesses and diseases.
    • Generally less aggressive towards other cats.
    • Less likely to experience cat fight related injuries and contract feline immunodeficiency
      virus (FIV).
    • Less inclined to mark their territory through urination.
    • Prevented from displaying undesirable ‘on heat’ behaviours such as restlessness and being
      highly vocal.
    • Likely to live longer.

    Desexing is an important part of being a responsible pet owner.

      Thanks for the link OP!:)

      I guess I was a little narrow minded in assuming their was a direct link rather than the positives (and rightly so) you've suggested.
      Someone felt the need to neg my serious question though which is plain weird.

  Never mind. Apparently a (profanity) cat is profanity.
