Default FeralStat - Cat Oral Contraceptive

Hello all,

Not sure if any of you have heard of FeralStat? It is an cat oral contraceptive that is being used in one of the states in America. Yeah, as usual there are always the positive and negative publicity to it. I read somewhere that it causes diabetes in cats due to the hormonal thingy but then again, some brand of cat kibbles also causes kidney stones!

FeralStat is a synthetic progestin to postpone esterus in a cat. Method of introduction is through mixing of FeralStat with food and feed to the strays. A cat’s minimum effective daily dosage is approximately 0.04 milligrams. It has been prescribed for over 7 years and has been reported to be effective and convenient.

I emailed the org. and a Dr. (can't get his name though, American mah, talk fast on the voicemail) responded. So, before I call him back, I just needed some opinions, or if there's any questions to raise.

I did mention the cultural and religion taboos, that, sometimes forbids the neutering of cats and such alternative is a good option...

Guys/Gals, any opinion will be much appreciated!
