Birth control for cats?

Question
Hi,
 I have 4 kittens who are all females. I do not want to have them fixed and was wondering if you know of an animal birth control pill or shot that they could have? Thanks

Margaret

Answer
They do make a birth control for cats, but it is far, far more expensive than spaying. If you are considering breeding these animals, feel free to talk with your veterinarian about some birth control options.

There is a shot, I believe once monthly, for cats to control Estrus or "Heat" cycles used to selectively breed animals.

Good luck!
