7 Key themes Do cats receive the same care and consideration in Canadian society as dogs, given their own particular needs? Despite improvements in the last five years, cat overpopulation persists 7
8 General population survey of Canadians Conducted by Ipsos using their online omnibus poll Surveyed 1,222 Canadians, 18 years of age or older in ten provinces Representative of the Canadian population based on age, gender and region. 8
9 Pet ownership in Canada 62% of Canadians own at least one pet 1 2 or more Percent households with at least % Average number per household % % % % 2.0 9

25 Summary of spay/neuter results Higher fraction of general public report their cats are sterilized (94% in 2017 compared to 80% in 2012) Higher proportion of cats admitted to shelter have already been sterilized More adopted animals are taken home already sterilized Fewer municipalities sterilize adoptable animals prior to adoption compared to % for other types of organizations 25
26 Summary of spay/neuter results (contd.) Higher proportion of juveniles being sterilized Shortage of funds is no longer reason for not sterilizing More accessible sterilization options available 26

29 Intake (contd.) For both cats and dogs: - One half are stray - One quarter are owner-surrendered - One tenth are transferred in Top reason for owner-surrender continues to be housing issues 29

37 Veterinarian Support Cat services for rescues Dog services for rescues Average proportion Cat services for shelters of time/resources Dog services for shelters allocated to Trap-neuter-return supporting these groups Other None 11% % 53% 61% 53% 50% 59% 45% 55% 26% 29% 5% 26% 16% 37
38 Veterinarian Support (contd.) The level of discount veterinarians provide to the organizations they support ranges from 30% to 45%. Most vets are providing spay/neuter surgeries and medical treatment/testing services, as well as vaccinations to the groups they support. 38
39 Summary Good news! Cat owners are reporting more of their cats are sterilized. More cats are being admitted to care organizations already spayed or neutered. The availability of accessible spay/neuter services and their success has increased. 39
40 Summary Good news! (contd.) Organizations are reporting more cats sterilized prior to adoption, and juveniles make up a larger fraction of those sterilized. Lack of funds is less likely to be the reason animals are released for adoption without having been sterilized. A greater fraction of cats are being adopted from animal care organizations. Euthanasia of cats has decreased. 40
41 Summary Bad news There are still twice as many cats taken in as dogs. The proportion of these cats who are juvenile is twice what it is for dogs. The rate of reclaim for stray cats is about one seventh of that for stray dogs. 18% cats taken in are euthanized, compared to 8% of dogs. 41
42 Recommendations Education about importance of responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter, illegality of abandonment Widespread early sterilization prior to sexual maturity among owned cats to prevent unwanted litters that may be relinquished or abandoned. Accessible spay/neuter. Governments provide financial resources to accessible spay/neuter initiatives, rather than relying on charitable organizations, their donors and veterinary partners to fund this important work. 42
43 Recommendations (contd.) Organizations adopting out animals make every effort to spay/neuter 100% of animals prior to adoption. Spay/neuter programs for adoptable animals follow the recommendations in the ASV Guidelines, including that surgery be considered as early as six weeks (Griffin et al., 2016). 43
44 Recommendations (contd.) All cat sheltering facilities incorporate Capacity for Care shelter management practices to reduce the likelihood of illness in shelter, leading to euthanasia. 44
45 Recommendations (contd.) Municipalities communicate with other stakeholders to improve understanding of perspectives across stakeholder groups, as well as collaborate and strategically align efforts. For example, support educational messages with laws, enforcement and compliance promotion, such as adopting bylaws and supportive programs with mechanisms to incentivize sterilization. 45
