    It’s also due to increased efforts to get people to spay and neuter their pets, including reduced cost and free sterilization programs.

      The cost isn’t reduced anymore, and that’s another contributor to this problem. $300 for a neuter, $550 to get shots and a neuter for a stray at local veterinary offices. You have to find a non-profit doing low-cost operations to get a cat neutered for under $150 in my state. Insurance in the veterinary market was a truly cruel and stupid idea.
