There are always those that think they know it all and accidents will always happen I suppose.

There are two organizations on top of this: The Michelson Foundation (updates here http://www.michelsonprizeandgrants.org/blog), and the Alliance for Contraception in Cats & Dogs (updates here http://www.acc-d.org/research-innovation). I hope you find what you’re looking for!

Is there any update as of yet regarding non-surgical methods of cat/dog sterilization? As I spend vacations in Greece, I would love nothing more than to feed a one-time only birth control additive to the tons of feral cats roaming the streets. I can’t believe that in 2014, no-one has come up with a way in which to accomplish this. Please let me know if there is anything in the pipeline.

Thank you,
Patricia

It hopefully will wake up those dog and cat owners that allow their pets to indiscriminately breed whenever they want to. It will continue to be a world wide problem until we see the rational in limiting the breeding of both cats and dogs.

Keep up the good work. I will watch for your update.

More dogs and cats need to be spayed or neutered; all animals adopted from animal shelter should be mandatory altered. An animal sterilization pill, if developed, will make a huge dent in the worldwide pet overpopulation problem . The ongoing efforts of Trap Neuter and Return programs need continued support. Lastly, we as potential pet owners need to be adopting pets from animal shelters and rescue groups, not pet stores.
