Why Spaying and Neutering Matters
Maine Coons are known as the “gentle giants” of the cat world. With their playful personalities, stunning coats, and affectionate natures, it’s no surprise that they’re one of the most sought-after breeds in Houston and beyond. At MyGeekTails, we take pride not only in raising healthy, well-socialized Maine Coons, but also in making sure every kitten we place goes to their forever home with the best possible start in life. That’s why spaying and neutering is at the heart of our mission.
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are essential steps in responsible pet ownership. These procedures prevent unplanned litters, which helps reduce the overwhelming number of cats in shelters. Every year, countless cats—many of them purebreds—end up in rescues because of accidental breeding or because owners underestimated the responsibility of raising kittens. By ensuring your Maine Coon is spayed or neutered, you are part of the solution, not the problem.
Beyond preventing overpopulation, spaying and neutering have direct health and behavioral benefits. Spayed females are less likely to develop uterine infections and certain types of cancers. Neutered males are less prone to spraying, roaming, or displaying aggressive behavior. These procedures can extend your cat’s lifespan and help them live a calmer, happier life inside your home. For Maine Coons, a breed that thrives on companionship, these benefits are especially valuable.
MyGeekTails’ Commitment to Responsible Breeding
At MyGeekTails, we believe every Maine Coon deserves a life filled with love, health, and stability. To ensure this, spay and neuter services are included in our kitten prices. Unlike some breeders who leave this responsibility entirely to new owners, we take care of it before our kittens leave our care. This means you can welcome your new companion without the added stress or cost of arranging surgery on your own.
This approach reflects our philosophy as a cattery: breeding isn’t just about producing kittens, it’s about safeguarding the breed and supporting responsible ownership. By making spay and neuter part of the adoption process, we protect our kittens and give families peace of mind.
We’re proud to partner with Emancipet, a non-profit veterinary organization dedicated to making spay/neuter and vaccines affordable and accessible to pet owners across Texas. Their mission aligns perfectly with ours—ensuring that every animal, regardless of background, receives proper care.
Through this partnership, all MyGeekTails kittens are spayed or neutered and receive up-to-date vaccinations before joining their new families. This collaboration not only guarantees excellent veterinary standards but also helps keep adoption fees transparent and affordable. We’re not just raising Maine Coons—we’re investing in their long-term well-being.
A Win-Win for Families and Felines
When you adopt a Maine Coon from MyGeekTails, you’re doing more than adding a beautiful cat to your household. You’re joining a movement of responsible owners who care deeply about feline welfare. By receiving a kitten that is already spayed or neutered and vaccinated, you’re saving time, reducing future veterinary costs, and most importantly, ensuring your pet grows up in a healthy environment.
Spaying and neutering are critical for controlling cat overpopulation, protecting feline health, and supporting positive behavior. At MyGeekTails, we take this responsibility seriously. By including spay/neuter in our prices and working hand-in-hand with Emancipet, we ensure our Maine Coons are prepared for a lifetime of love and companionship.
If you’re ready to welcome a Maine Coon into your family, you can feel confident knowing that MyGeekTails is committed to doing things the right way—for you, for our kittens, and for the entire Maine Coon community.
