History of International Homeless Animals Day
This day started in 1992 by the International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR). This day raises awareness about the overpopulation of cats and dogs across the world. ISAR is working to control the stray animal population through neutering and spaying of cats and dogs. Because of this day, many animal protection organizations, veterinary professionals, and others have come together to protect these homeless animals. As a result, many homeless animals have found permanent homes in animal shelters.

What is Neutering and Spaying?
Neutering and spaying are the only ways to control the population of cats and dogs. Neutering is the removal of the testes in a male animal while spaying is the removal of the ovaries or the uterus of a female animal. Due to this procedure, cats and dogs became unable to reproduce.
