National Feral Cat Day: Be Part of the Solution
Best Friends Animal Society encourages people to use National Feral Cat Day on Oct. 16 as an opportunity to learn how they can be part of the solution to make life better for homeless cats.
Some simple steps to help homeless cats:
- If you feed stray cats, spay and neuter them so that the breeding cycle is stopped.
- Keep your own cats from becoming statistics. Keep them indoors. Get them spayed or neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. If you want your cat to have outside experiences, please consider screening-in a porch or patio, building a cattery, investing in special cat fencing, and/or teaching your cat to walk on a harness.
- Support your local community trap/neuter/return (TNR) groups. Donate — even small amounts add up. Volunteer a couple of hours a month.
- Become a caregiver for a local cat colony.
- Foster adoptable kittens or lost house cats rescued during TNR operations.

Teral cats is great. What we need is a list of loe=w cost neutering sites in all all ares of the country. Too people have the compassion to take in or feed feral cats but don’t think they can afford to have them neutered. we desperately need a link to a lowcost neuter list. I know this will entail a lot of hard research but thing of how much we can cut down on feral cat production, Area lists can be posted in SPCAs, Pet Shops and ever grocery stores. If we can have some intelligent, caring people to create the lists, hundreds of ud ue=will do the posting and education to the masses.
