Neutering

Neutering is a surgical procedure that removes an animal's reproductive organs to prevent them from reproducing. In males, it typically involves removing the testicles, which stops the production of sperm and certain hormones. This procedure helps reduce behaviors associated with mating, such as aggressiveness or roaming, and contributes to controlling the pet population. In females, it usually means removing the ovaries and sometimes the uterus, which prevents pregnancy and can reduce health risks like infections or cancers. Neutering is a common, safe operation that benefits both individual animals and broader community efforts to manage pet overpopulation.
