Klinik Kembiri : Benefits Of Neutering

What is Spay/Neuter?

The term neutering refers to a minor operation to remove the reproductive organs of the male and female animal, while spaying is specific to female animals.


  1. Stray Animal Population Control

    Thousands of stray animals and unwanted litters face euthanasia or are suffering on the streets, please neuter your pets and help prevent this problem. Starting from 2 cats, you can end up with as many as 20,000 kittens and cats in a matter of 7 years.


    Do you have the means to care for them or to find them homes? The majority of strays cannot get sufficient food, are exposed to diseases and to the taunting and cruelty of heartless people; they often also end up maimed or dead from accidents. Don’t be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution.
