I recently saw a new client with a petite little kitten he adopted several months ago from a shelter.  Since cats are like potato chips … and you can’t have just one, he adopted her brother as well.  Now in a little over a month, he is going to have a litter of kittens cavorting through his house. Yes, she is pregnant.  Yes, she is very young.  And yes, her brother is the father.

I will be speaking today with Esther Mechler, the founder of SpayUSA and Dr. Richard Speck of the Animal Protective League of Springfield, Illinois about the early spay and neuter program, Beat the Heat.
