Why are more cats euthanized than dogs?

Answer 1

There is a surplus population of cats and dogs. No one is willing to take care of them, so to keep them from running wild in human-populated areas (which can be a health hazard because of diseases like rabies), they are euthanized. This is considered the most painless way to end their lives. You can do your part to prevent euthanization by spaying or neutering your pets, and by adopting from shelters like the Humane Society instead of purchasing your pet from breeders.

Answer 2

More cats are euthanized than dogs because cats usually enter shelters lacking owner identification. Based on statistics, 71 percent of cats that enter shelter are being euthanized compared to that of 56 percent in dogs.

Answer 3

There are many reasons. Some of them are: 1.) they can't afford to pay for the animal and all its needs.

2) they need more space for other animals

3) they want to end the pain for the animal(if the cat or dog has a serious problem with no cure)

Answer 4
