quires surgical intervention, which takes time and resources. Now, scientists have tried a simply applied, non-surgical “gene shot” on six female cats, with promising results.The small study size was intentional, allowing strict scientific scrutiny of each cat and the mechanics of the new anti-pregnancy approach.
