Scientists Develop New Birth Control for Female Cats--No Surgery Necessary

I can't imagine trapping and injecting feral cats across, say, the Australian Outback would provide enough coverage to control their population economically. Given the sheer number of cats out there, you'd need a small army of volunteers and live traps.

But for urban and suburban areas, this could be a game changer. Petco could have spay shot clinics and save people hundreds of dollars. People like my sister, who won't get her cats spayed because of the cost, and is therefore constantly giving away kittens, wouldn't have an excuse anymore.
