TRAP - NEUTER/SPAY - RELEASE: THE FERAL CAT SITUATION
All cat lovers have seen this: the dirty and unapproachable cat prowling in your garbage, the scrawny female cat who continues to have litters of kittens in your shed, but will not let you get anywhere near her.
These are usually feral cats; cats that may have once been domestic, and turned wild to survive, or cats who were actually born wild. They are definitely not your typical friendly kitty cat! They do, however, multiply at an alarming rate, and lead miserable lives which end with slow starvation, sickness, or freezing to death. Some communities find them a problem, and want to be rid of them, and other people show their concern by feeding them. It is not enough to just feed them; these cats must be spayed and neutered so that they no longer reproduce more sick and hungry kittens. Toronto Cat Rescue can help you help these cats. Our Stray/Feral Program provides you with information and knowledge on how to work with feral cats.
For more information call the TCR Hotline 416-538-8592 (press #3). We may be able to provide assistance and/or advice to help you to help the feral kitties in your neighbourhood. |
