###### **Please [spay and neuter](https://www.petsmartcharities.org/adopt-a-pet/find-a-spayneuter-clinic) your pets!** While your newborn pets are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless animals. Adopt pets from your [local animal rescues/shelters](http://adopt.pschar.org/), there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.
