| Cat Facts |
| |
- Of the millions of cats and kittens brought to shelters each year, 70% will be euthanized.
- Millions more are homeless, living in dangerous conditions on the streets.
- Behavioral problems are the most common reason that owners abandons their cats.*
- Spaying/neutering your cat not only helps control the cat population, but also reduces many unwanted behaviors, such as aggression, roaming and spraying.
- Only 10% of cats received by shelters have been spayed or neutered.
- One female cat and her offspring can produce as many as 420,000 kittens in seven years.
- The cost of spaying or neutering a cat is less than the cost of raising one litter of kittens for one year.

| How You Can Help |
| |
1. Purchase Fresh Step® cat litter
Fresh Step® cat litter continues to support local Community Programs that employ innovative programs to benefit cats. An annual donation of $50,000 is made possible through your purchases of Fresh Step® cat litter.
2. Care for Your Cat(s)
While there is no one reason for cat overpopulation, we do know that behavioral problems are a common reason for cat abandonment. What many cat owners don't realize is that certain behaviors are natural for cats, some signal the need for a trip to the vet, and other can easily be managed.
Knowledge is our first line of defense. To ensure every cat receives the care and the love it deserves, the makers of Fresh Step® litter and the ASPCA® create the Safe Steps Guide for New Cat Owners, available free here and at animal shelters across the United States.
