Several animal rescue groups that help control the feral cat population are doing amusing fundraisers for Valentine's Day like 'Neuter Your Ex.'
The idea is to donate money to have a feral cat named after your ex, and then the cat is spayed or neutered as part of the organization's TNR program (Trap-Neuter-Release).
The first group I saw that is doing this is in Iowa. But now I also see there are rescues in New Jersey and Maryland doing this also, including the Feline Rescue Organization in Baltimore! More on them HERE.

Looking for the Purr-fect Valentine's Day Gift for your Ex?
Neuter Your Ex!
Have an ex that shouldn't reproduce? Feeling vengeful this Valentine's Day? For just a $15 donation, we will name a feral cat after your ex, then spay or neuter them and release them through our trap-neuter-return (TNR) program to stop the breeding cycle. Give your ex a proper sendoff (you know Brad and Chad deserves the snippy-snip), heal your heart, and help control the community cat population at the same time.
Your donation helps provide funding for our TNR program and other spay/neuter programs. TNR works to end reproduction in community cat colonies, stabilizing populations, and improving cats' lives.
Hate this idea and think we're being petty? You can sponsor a pet, too!
Ex's Name:
Single Name: $15
5 Names: $50
10 Names: $100
What is TNR?
TNR or trap-neuter-return, alters, vaccinates, ear-tips, and returns healthy community cats to the areas where they've already been living and thriving - therefore preventing more generations or other species from moving in.
