In reply to the discussion: Seeking advice regarding a kitty [View all]quakerboy
(13,915 posts)23. Yes, they do
Often enough due to financial concerns. It costs cash to end the family line. And currency deficient people still want companionship, especially when it can be so often initially acquired for the cost of a belly rub.
Ive seen this happen with family. They take in an animal, intending to get it neutered when they can afford to do so. But months later, nothing has been done about it because paying the minimum to keep the electricity on was more important than the $25 to deball an otherwise healthy kitty.
Others I am sure want to breed for some reason. Still others may not know, and finally there are those who just don't care.
But yeah. People keep pets without spaying or neutering.
