How Do You Get Assistance Taking Care Of Stray Cats?
Feral cat colonies, although started by abandoned pet cats, do survive and become large populations quickly in many urban areas. Although stray cats do find enough food to live and raise kittens, without good medical care and a constant healthy food source, they are highly susceptible to disease and poor health. Many stray cat colonies around the country are cared for by cat-loving people, but this takes commitment and lots of help. Promoting the benefits of helping cats, such as reducing the population and preventing the spread of disease, will get more people involved in the effort. Trap for spaying or neutering and vaccinating as many of the stray cats as possible. You will have much more success gaining help for the cats if you are also working toward reducing the population of stray cats and preventing diseases such as rabies from spreading. Otherwise, feeding the cats will only increase their numbers and increase the risk of diseases spreading to other pets. Contact veterinarians
