Demand for automotive service technicians and mechanics is expected to grow about as fast as the average among all occupations over the 2014-2024 decade, according to the BLS. The number of jobs is expected to rise by 5% over that period, which will result in an estimated 39,100 new jobs being created. Automotive dealerships and independent automotive repair facilities will create the most job opportunities. The need for technicians will also increase with the number of vehicles on the road.
One can spay a mother as soon as the kittens or pups are weaned, (5 to 6 weeks for kittens and 4 to 5 weeks for puppies) and because of the risk of pregnancy this should be done.
Kittens as young as nine weeks can be neutered. Nursing females can be spayed when their kittens are eating solid food. If you trap a pregnant cat it is generally best to spay her anyway. If you trap a nursing female and you are unsure about the kittens, then use your best judgement after talking to your vet. The first step is making arrangements with a local veterinarian. For help in finding a vet or low-cost spay/neuter program contact SPAY/USA at 1-800- 248-SPAY. The next stage is the trapping. Your local humane society or animal control agency may be able to loan you the traps, or you may prefer to buy a humane trap. You can successfully neuter a colony with just one or two traps.
