Getting up to Speed with Canine & Feline Reproduction & Contraception

Found Animals encourages investigators from a wide range of disciplines to take up the challenge of developing a nonsurgical sterilant for cats and dogs; accordingly, many promising applicants may not have a background in small animal reproduction. The resources in this section will help all applicants to learn more about canine and feline anatomy, physiology, and reproduction, and to become familiar with the advantages and limitations of various approaches and targets.
