February is national Spay/Neuter Awareness Month, dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation and improving animal health before spring, when unplanned litters increase, notes the Tulsa SPCA. It highlights the benefits of sterilization, including preventing diseases like uterine cancer and reducing shelter overcrowding, while raising awareness for World Spay Day on Feb 24, 2026.
 

Key Aspects of Spay/Neuter Awareness Month:

Purpose: To promote pet sterilization to curb the crisis of homeless, unwanted litters.

Health Benefits: Sterilization helps pets live longer, healthier lives, including reducing the risk of mammary tumors and uterine infections.

Preventing Overpopulation: Millions of pets are euthanized annually, making this month crucial for reducing shelter overcrowding.

Timing: February acts as a proactive measure to prepare for the “kitten season” and high spring birth rates.

Global Impact: World Spay Day, founded by Doris Day in 1978, encourages fixing pets to prevent homelessness.
