Reply To: blessings for animals (in particular, pets!)

Hello Daniela,

That is such a predicament — I did not realize until I read some things here in the Coffee Room that it is prohibited to get pets spayed and neutered (I am becoming Orthodox after discovering Jewish family roots). I adopted Cleocatra from a rescue foundation that had saved her from a “kill” shelter, and she had been spayed by her previous person ( who had dropped her off at the kill shelter).

It is such a desperate situation — these homeless pets on the streets need help so much. I am not sure what the solution is, given the prohibition.
