Stray cat information - Stray cat pictures
A stray cat is a cat that has been allowed to roam by its owner
and has been unable to find its way home.
The existing stray cat population and its annual replenishment through
natural reproduction and abandonment of domestic cats causes significant
problems.
Feral cats are born outdoors and have not been socialized. Uncomfortable
around humans, they will never be comfortable living in human homes.
They make homes in colonies wherever they can find food, be it in
alleys or under a boardwalk. On their own without human intervention,
breeding is not controlled, and their numbers steadily increase. All
cats, even those born outside and having never lived with a human
family, should be allowed to live the lives they deserve - outdoors,
happy, healthy and prevented from becoming part of an endless cycle
of breeding.
A feral cat has a life expectancy of only 2 years , all stray or feral
cats were either a former house pet,or a descendent of one. They will
not survive for very long on their own and require us to shed our
indifference and help them. We are glad you have taken the first step.

Cat Care tips
Cats require some special care for healthy and trouble free existence.
Cats are carnivorous; hence they require some animal-source ingredients,
such as meat, poultry, or fish, in their diets.
Give your cat fresh water every day. There is no need to give milk
to the cat.
Keep the litter box clean. It promotes good sanitation behavior.
Get your cat vaccinated against deadly diseases.
Take your cat routinely to a veterinarian. Cats are prone to many
of the same diseases that human beings are, like cancer, kidney
diseases, heart diseases, and dental diseases.
It is advisable to have your cat neutered, also called spayed (for
females) and castrated (for males). It aids in control of unwanted
kittens, and greatly minimizes the risk of problems associated with
the reproductive tract and behavioral problems associated with sexually
intact animals.
Cats are attracted towards string-like objects like tinsel, needles
and thread, rubber bands etc and may eat them. Some cats are attracted
towards electric cords. Therefore, keep all these things out of
the reach of cats. |
