From the American Humane Association Web site:
It's easy to produce 80 million cats. Just allow two cats and their surviving offspring to breed for 10 years. In that time, you'll produce 80,399,780 cats (this assumes two litters per year and 2.8 surviving kittens per litter).
  • First year: 12
  • Second year: 66
  • Third year: 382
  • Fourth year: 2,201
  • Fifth year: 12,680
  • Sixth year: 73,041
  • Seventh year: 420,715
  • Eighth year: 2,423,316
  • Ninth year: 13,968,290
  • 10th year: 80,399,780
By age five, a female dog and her female offspring can produce 192 puppies (assuming two females per litter and two litters per year). And this doesn't include all of the offspring produced by her male puppies.

The dogs and cats you see on this web site represent some of the few lucky homeless animals who will be placed in permanent homes.

Tragically, 4-6 million homeless and unwanted animals are euthanized annually because homes cannot be found. Over 244,000 dogs and cats were euthanized in North Carolina animal shelters in 2005 alone.

Please help control animal overpopulation by spaying/neutering your pet!
