Gary Michelson is a billionaire inventor and human doctor. Gary Michelson has announced a $25 million prize to anyone who comes up with a workable dog and cat contraceptive. Researchers may apply for grants totalling up to $50 million.

The new contraceptive should be a non-surgical way to permanently sterilize cats and dogs. Surgical spay and neuter procedures are expensive and inconvenient to use so the new contraceptive must beat these disadvantages. There are many strays who have no one to bear the cost of sterilization. The population of strays is increasing and contraceptives may save animal lives. Often, strays are euthanized to control the breeding and population.
