What is the most common mistake people living in cities do when it comes to cat colonies protection? They mostly feed them.
Is it wrong? Absolutely not! But just feeding a cat colony leads to hundreds of new kittens and an excess in the population.
If you feed a cat colony then please follow the tips below:
- Take photo of every cat in your cat colony and keep a note regarding its gender; it’s quite easy to find out.
- Get in touch with your municipality or local animal group to check if the cats are neutered.
- If not, contact your municipality or local animal group immediately and help them neuter the cats.
- If they have been neutered procure for some steady food and water bowls as well as some small boxes to keep the colony in place safe and happy.
- If you suspect that a cat in your colony is sick or abused contact your municipality and local group in order to transfer it to the vet.
- If a new cat shows up, keep a note and inform the local group immediately.
- Run an adoption campaign.
