The frequency with which the cats can reproduce and their habit of hiding makes it difficult to know the number of pigs in a street situation. Although they have no official figures, the organizations dedicated to saving them they talk about overpopulation. For this reason, they insist that they must be sterilized.

According to data from the Mexican Animal Care Agency (AGATAN), 15 unsterilized females can produce 1,000 cats in 5 years. The results of the 2018 Animal Welfare Survey Mexico City, applied by AGATAN, indicate that the 60% of domestic animals identified is sterilized, of these do not know how many are felines.

In the street, they are exposed to fighting between cats risk of contracting life-threatening diseases such as the feline immunodeficiency virus (Felin of AIDSo) and leukemia, which is transmitted by bite.

Feline AIDS also spreads during mating; sterilization therefore reduces the risk of infection and helps control the cat population who live in the streets.

In Mexico, there are badociations dedicated to the castration of street cats, the method consists in capturing, sterilizing and releasing (TNR, for its acronym in English). Another type of organization is that of sterilization campaigns for domestic cats. And there are also those who are dedicated to save them from the street and give them for adoption.

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico is one of the places where cats are neutered. The page and the social networks of AGATAN are known. dates and places where the mobile unit will be installed for the control of the reproduction of dogs and cats.

This kitty he was saved on a bridge by the badociation El Gato Vago with the help of firefighters and police officers. Fedra lived a few days in the holes of the structure, fed the food that people have left. However, he died because the intense cold and its weak defenses They caused respiratory problems that could not be saved.

They found it wandering in a parking lot of a building. During the day, he hid among the cars and sunbathed where they did not see him. In the nights I looked for food in garbage cans and I have meowed. Gato Vago tells that a person has earned their trust by leaving him food every night until she can catch him. I take it with the badociation to sterilize it and perform tests, tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

He was saved by a boy who could not stay with him because his father did not leave him because he already had several cats and dogs in the house. When they received it at El Gato Vago, they calculated it over 9 years and diagnosed IVF and leukemia. It was adopted and he lived two years in a house where he received love and care.

Milly could not walk anymore. When they found it I had a hip fracture, in one leg and two shots to the head. I rehabilitated it for a long time, they removed the bullets and they operated on the bone of his frontal leg, but his hip could not recover. Elizabeth Valderrama sponsored Milly for all expenses incurred by El Gato Vago. Although he can not walk, he is happy.

When they found Prince had weeks with a broken legthis made him lose sensitivity at this end. The veterinarian who examined him also detected a large scar on his stomach. At El Gato Vago, they received it to let him adopt, he could find a family who cared for him.
