5. https://proprofs-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/images/QM/user_images/1573400/1660113071.pngThe one-time cost for sterilizing a pet is small in comparison to the cost of caring for a litter.

Explanation

True. While the surgery can seem expensive, this one-time cost is substantially less than financing the cost of care for a litter of kittens or puppies. There are options to assist pet owners. Neuter Now certificates, available at Satellite City Hall and the Hawaiian Humane Society, provide reduced sterilization fees at participating veterinary clinics. You can also adopt from a local shelter or rescue group whose animals are already neutered.

Submit
6. Sterilizing dogs eliminate their chance to develop certain types of cancer.

Explanation

True. Spaying a female dog before her first heat cycle virtually eliminates the risk of breast cancer, the most common cancer in unsterilized female dogs. Neutering your male dog eliminates the risk of testicular cancer.

Submit
7. What undesirable behaviors are reduced when your pet is spayed or neutered?

Explanation

All of the above. Unsterilized cats and dogs frequently mark with urine, creating an unpleasant smell and unsanitary conditions in your home. Most dog bites involve dogs who are not sterilized. The urge to find a mate and roam can lead to the escape of your pet, increasing their vulnerability of becoming lost or injured.

Submit
8. How can you decrease the number of feral cats in your neighborhood?

Explanation

All of the above. When people trap, neuter and then return cats to their colonies, the population stabilizes and then decreases. Millions of unwanted kittens will be spared from a life on the streets.

Submit
9. Sterilizing pets help them live longer.

Explanation

True. Sterilized pets live longer, healthier lives and make better companions. Recent research done by veterinarians at the University of Georgia showed that sterilized dogs live longer on average compared to those that are unsterilized.

Submit
10. Sterilizing cats will reduce their chance to get feline AIDS.

Explanation

True. The Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a complex infection in cats that can lead to other serious health issues such as kidney failure, respiratory diseases and cancer. FIV is spread through reproduction and fighting, activities which are decreased when cats are sterilized.

Submit
11. Why do some cats have a 'V' notch in their ear?

Explanation

Cats, usually feral cats, that are spayed or neutered have a 'V' notch in their ears. This is done to prevent re-trapping and the unnecessary surgery of an already sterilized cat. A notched right ear indicates the cat is female, a notched left ear indicates the cat is male.

Submit
12. How many free-roaming cats are estimated on Oahu?

Explanation

300,000. Nearly 17% of people living on Oahu are feeding cats they don't own. Free roaming cats are vulnerable to disease, abuse and being hit by cars. Unsterilized cats can quickly contribute to increasing the population of free roaming cats.

Submit
13. Is the Hawaiian Humane Society part of a national organization?

Explanation

No. All humane societies are completely independent from one another and are not affiliated. With no national parent organization, Hawaiian Humane Society is an independent, local organization help local animals and people that does not receive any funding from organizations with a similar name. All your donations stay local to help animals in Hawaii.
