PAWS Litter Busters

What does PAWS do for your St.Croix Valley
community?

Our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program helps families that cannot afford sterilization for their pets. In just the last 3 years, we have issued over 350 spay/neuter vouchers! 169 of them in just 2011 and now our funds are coming to an end for the year. Unfortunately, we now have a waiting list! As our neighbors and their pets are experiencing these tough times of the economy, our Pet Food Assistance Program has increased in demand also.

Our Adoption Program has successfully found permanent homes for 500 cats and dogs over the years. Most of them were once lost, unwanted, forgotten pets from our St Croix communities. Depending on how many Foster Homes we have available, does set a limit of how many of these cats and dogs we can help find loving homes. We seem to never have enough Foster Homes for the increasing number of cats and dogs in need!

How can you help?

For a just $10/month for a year, you will spay 1 female & neuter 1 male cat or dog which will prevent an estimated 12 kittens or 16 puppies from being born. Big deal you may think. YES IT IS! If you do not become a Litter Buster, in 1 year those 12 kittens or 16 puppies will produce litters of their own & now there are…just take a look at the chart below! It is too overwhelming. And the litters go on and on and on. Yes, it is happening in your community! Yes, in your backyard. Yes, on your farm. Yes, in our countryside. Yes, our St Croix valley is infested with unwanted cats and dogs.

The Unaltered Facts:

An unspayed female cat, her mate and all of their offspring, producing 2 litters per year, with 2.8 surviving kittens per litter can total:

1 year: 12
2 years: 67
3 years: 376
4 years: 2,107
5 years: 11,801

An unspayed female dog, her mate and all of their puppies,
if none are ever neutered or spayed, add up to:

1 year: 16
2 years: 128
3 years: 512
4 years: 2,048
5 years: 12,288
