>>140301 It's irresponsible because there are already cats that need homes. Every cat that isn't fixed adds more cats, which add more cats, which add more cats, etc. Instead of creating more cats, they should have referred them to a local shelter or breeder with existing kittens. There is nothing wrong with breeding cats for a specific goal, IF all cats that do not meet that goal are removed from the gene pool. This is why responsible breeders are so selective about the pairings, why they require money for offspring (the reasoning being that if you are willing to pay for an animal you might be willing to take care of it), required spay/neuter contracts, etc.
By letting the cats breed, by not at least fixing the males (even if they were anti-kitty-abortion), they are adding untold amounts of cats to a population already saturated.
You have homes "lined up" for your kittens' kittens? When will you breed the female? Hopefully not until she is a year old, and has shown herself to have a good personality and good health. By that time, if she is a sound cat, will those homes still be available? You say you intend to fix the male in "a few months". He could father hundreds of kittens if he gets away from you as early as four months. If he is weaned, then he can be neutered NOW.
Please, people, think before you act.
For the record, I did not abort snailkittens' kittens, which makes me something of a hypocrite. However, neither she, nor her kittens, will ever have kittens, and the boys will likely stay with me.
