In the first 6 month of 2026, your contributions helped to sterilize and vaccinate 30 stray and feral community cats in partnership with Inyo County Animal Shelter (Best Friends Animal Society grant).

Direct First-Year Prevention

• Female cats: Each female cat has an average of 2 to 3 litters annually.

• Immediate impact: Spaying 14 females stopped 28 to 42 litters from ever being born in year one alone.

• Kitten volume: At an average of 4 to 6 kittens per litter, that equals roughly 112 to 252 kittens prevented in the first year from those mothers.

Long-Term Impact

• Exponential Growth: Unfixed kittens from those litters can breed as early as 5 months old.

• Generational Stop: Multiplying future generations means preventing thousands of potential offspring and subsequent litters over a multi-year span.
