Feral Cat Population

Have you ever thought about what your community would look like without litter? If so, it may take a while to find out. One person throwing something on the ground may not think much of it, however, when that trash finds other trash, they begin to build up and make big piles of junk. For example, I am sure people never thought that if they littered, their trash would end up in the pacific garbage patch. Believe it or not, no one thinks that until you look at the pacific garbage patch and see how disgusting it looks just because people were to lazy to throw their trash away. To make matters worse, littering has become very common, which should be stopped because in most cases, trash is not disposed of properly,

Children who live with cats from an early age may well develop an immunity to asthma. A study found that some children develop special antibodies when exposed to cats, preventing them from developing the disease.

Homelessness seems to constantly trigger debates among our society. It has since caused a complex social problem between U.S. citizens and multiple cities worldwide. Cities across the nation have passed a law that criminalizes the act of feeding the homeless, has restricted simple acts of compassion, and have required the purchase of permits to utilize public areas. According to Robbie Couch,” The outlet reports that, incredibly, at least 33 municipal bans on publicly handing out food have been enacted across the U.S. between January 2013 and April 2014, reflecting a sharp increase in communities with such restrictions…. This past February, Columbia S.C., began requiring groups of 25 people or more to purchase permits allowing them to utilize the city’s parks.” I know many will probably agree and say something along the lines of “By restricting the feeding of the homeless, it would motivate more homeless individual to get off the streets”. Houston Mayor Annise Parker stated, “Making it easier for someone to stay on the street is not humane”. Feeding bans are allowing an increase in chronic hunger, allowing stereotypes that are ill-treating those who are experiencing homelessness and allowing homeless individual’s mental, physical, and emotional health to weaken as time progresses.

There are a lot of people who sit under freeways and live in parks, if we have a chance to give these people another place to go we should jump on it. Draper city has proposed we build a homeless shelter somewhere in the valley, and the citizens went on a rage to make it to it didn’t

The Randolph County Humane Society houses 64 pets for adoption, 54 of which are eligible for sponsorship. By sponsoring a pet, you choose to either pay to feed that pet for a month, a medical exam, getting spayed or neutered, or just a general sponsorship. 29 cats, 31 dogs, 3 mice, and 1 rat are currently housed for adoption. Most of the pets that are eligible for sponsorship are the ones up for adoption. 26 of the cats, 30 of the dogs and the mice are the ones eligible for sponsorship. Of all the animals, 2 dogs and 2 cats have special needs. For example, one of the cats is epileptic (Welcome! - Randolph County Humane Society). The humane society wants all the care and safety of the animals. The employees there value the animals care

In every town and city across the country, local humane societies and animal control systems has been relying on catching and killing feral outdoor cats to control their population. Over the last century in the United States, a program called Trap-Neuter-Return, or TNR, has been implemented. With this program, the cats are trapped, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, then returned to where they were found to live out their lives as feral cats. The program’s effectiveness has come in to question recently as feral cat colonies are still on the rise.

Cities across the United States are struggling with the matter of homeless people who congregate in public areas. Homeless people, some of whom have serious mental problems or addictions, cannot get into government-provided housing due to long waiting lists or incarceration records. They also may not have consistent access to soup kitchens or food pantries, because they are without transportation, or do not meet the agencies guidelines. As a result, the homeless congregate in public areas to panhandle for food and money. Non-profits or charities hand out meals in parks to help combat this issue. This can cause parks to become littered, leading them to be uninviting, which can diminish surrounding house values. In an endeavor to remove the homeless

It has been such a joy cleaning up where these homeless animals live until they can find a home. These cats are dependent on our good will and I believe that will should be extended to all species.   I am starting a Geoscience degree. First term! What I want to do with this degree is travel, protect and help everything I can, but with the current Act there is less and less of what can be seen.

Domestic cats have taken the role of a keystone species in many environments, including human habitations, where they control some rodent populations. Feral cats are known to decimate native populations in many places in which they are introduced.

Clean every inch of each cage with soap and hot water, along with disinfectant (let dry before placing cat back in)

It may seem harmless and innocent, but littering is an unhealthy habit people of all ages in each country do every day. Littering is a second nature to some people; after doing it for so long and often, they do not realize they do it. As more and more people continue to litter, environments, animals, and humans are being harmed by people’s carless actions. Americans, as well as all humans, need to be more aware of how hazardous and costly littering is to the world and the creatures living in it. Littering shows lack of respect for the world, and needs to be prevented in order for future generations to live in a clean and healthy environment.

Also, there are many toxic items that you should NEVER EVER feed a cat. Alcohol, chocolate, raw meat, grapes and raisins, onions, and tuna are some examples. Believe it or not, cats can get drunk. However, the drinks that we call wine, beer, and liquor is extremely lethal to a cat. Damage to the liver, brain, and other body parts may occur. Just a tiny bit of alcohol, a tablespoon to be exact, can put an adult cat into a coma. Just a tiny bit more can kill an adult cat. Chocolate, the sweet treat is also dangerous. Basically, in chocolate there is something called theobromine. It is lethal to cats and will cause serious health problems. It is mostly concentrated in dark chocolate. Tea, coffee and other caffeinated drinks will cause a cat to

Cats came to the United States from Europe. They came from Egypt before that, and they were treated very special in Egypt because one of their gods was a cat. This is when they got domesticated, which was almost 4,000 years ago. Even though they have been domesticated they still do what every living thing does. In order for cats to survive they must get energy, move and grow, adapt to the environment protect themselves and reproduce.

Some people say that they, “Are not a cat person” and use that as their reason to not adopt cats. I used to not like cats very much, but after finding three abandoned kittens under my aunts daycare building, I saw how sweet cats can be if you give them the attention that they need. Taking care of those kittens everyday really made me realize that not all cats are mean or uninterested in everything. The main

Do not allow your cat or dog, however, to roam freely through the backyard for this purpose. They can end up fighting with violent possums and other daring animals if you do so. Instead, collect hair or fur after grooming your pet and place the collected hair inside small net bags. Then, hang these bags or directly scatter the hair around sections where possums are frequently seen.
