  Rabbits aren't the only things that breed like bunnies!

 

Did you know:

  • Cats can have up to 5 litters a year

  • Each litter averages 4 kittens

  • If only two cats start breeding you can end up with 30 or more within a year

With over 150,000 dogs and cats being put down in North Carolina every year getting your pet fixed is more important then ever.

The SPCA of FC offers two programs to Franklin County residents: Low Cost for owned pets and Trap-Neuter-Return for Feral Cats.
