Many of us feed them when they show up in our gardens or workplaces. But feeding is not enough, we must think ahead and trap/neuter/return to prevent more cats from being born and the numbers increasing.  Too many cats in an area can cause problems, particularly neighbourhood disharmony, so it’s vital their breeding is stopped and their numbers contained as soon as possible. Regardless of how wild a cat is, humane traps are available to trap them for transportation to a vet where they are spayed/neutered, treated for parasites and after a recovery period returned back to their location to continue to live and be fed by caring individuals. Contact your local rescue, vet or consult the list of TNR volunteers for help and more information Keep tuned all this week from the 10th to 17th where we will bring you details  names of the great rescues that work with feral cats, information on how you can help and save the day and adopt a stray!!

Feral Cats Awareness Week – August 10th to 17th

 
  TAGS

The 4th National Feral Cat Awareness Week in Ireland takes place from 10th – 17th August 2013.  The aim of the week is to highlight the plight of feral and stray cats in our communities and promote trap/neuter/return as a humane effective solution to stop their uncontrolled breeding.

There are an estimated 200,000 feral cats in Ireland with some experts even saying this number could be as shockingly high as 750,000. We need to make a change and soon.

The Feral Cats Ireland website contains all the information you need to educate yourself on the best way to help these cats, who find themselves hungry and homeless through no fault of their own.  Many have been dumped by their owners, or left behind when their owners moved house or passed away.  Some are lost.  Many will have reverted to a wild state in order to survive.  Their offspring will be wild as they will not have had interaction with humans. All are trying to survive as best they can.
