There are many dangers...

Some people feed them to their snakes, use them for torture or other horrible things.

Even if the kitten goes to a nice home there is a good possibility that the owner won't spay or neuter because of the cost, or the owner gets busy and forgets to do it. Here's what happens:

• Average number of litters a fertile cat can produce in one year: 3
• Average number of kittens in a feline litter: 4-6
• In 7 years, 1 female cat and her offspring can theoretically produce 420,000 cats.
• 6-8 million cats and dogs end up in shelters every year and 1/2 of them get euthanized.
