Episode Details

For the low price of US$15, rescues and shelters in the U.S. will let you name a cat after your ex, then have them spayed or neutered as part of their TNR (trap-neuter-return) initiatives. Listen to this week's episode to hear all about this event. Also, did you know that while "spay" is generally used for females, and "neuter" is generally used for males, "neuter" is technically a sex-neutral term? "Neutering" is the word for surgically preventing pets from reproducing.
