-: 'It's Raining Cats And Dogs' It wont be long before spring floods the animal shelters throughout the country with countless numbers of puppies and kittens. Adorable as most of these small animals are, there won't be enough homes for all of them. There aren't enough people to adopt them! Have you ever stopped to consider just hew many off spring can be born from just 500 dogs and cats? In only one short year these 500 animals, if left to reproduce, will be responsible for over 24,000 new dogs and cats! You say this is impossible; surely we have miscalculated. No, in fact, this is a conservative estimate that only considers females that reproduce twice a year. Males, as we all know, are able to play "Dad" to countless litters. Please do your part to help encourage the spaying and neu tering of all dogs and cats. Call your veterinarian now, or urge a friend to neuter. For informa tion on financial assistance for this surgery, call 457-3220. Here's the calculation for that "24,000 from 500" ana lysis: 500 Dogs/Cats have a litter of 6 = 3,000 new pups/kittens. This fall the origi nal 500 again have a litter of 6 = 3,000 new pups/kittens. Also this fall the litters born last Spring reproduce and have their own litters. 3,000 X 6 = 18,000 new pups/kittens. By the end of the year, we now have 24,000 new animals who will need homes. BASEMENT WATERPROOF- ING All-Dry for the Carolinas, Inc., All-Dry Basement Systems.
