In order to control stray animals and reduce the tragedy of "euthanasia", the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has been promoting the rescue principle of trap-neuter-return (Trap-Neuter-Return). That is to say, the stray cats are captured correctly, and then after sterilization, they are released to the original place or find adopters.

If we are walking on a cold street and suddenly encounter a poor dirty kitten, we will all want to give her a warm and safe environment. For a lost cat, we can bring her back to her owner; for a stray cat, we can give her a new home. No matter what, this will bring us a heavy sense of satisfaction ~ Therefore, learning to correctly attract stray animals and bring them to a safe place is an important skill we need to master.

1. Observe the basic condition of the cat

When you want to rescue a stray cat, you must first observe whether they have any injuries or diseases. For the safety of the animal and yourself, be sure to assess her health before deciding when and how to rescue her. If a cat keeps showing up in a particular area for a few days, spend more time observing her up close.

If the cat is not behaving strangely, breathing heavily, or drooling excessively, you should seek help from a professional agency and do not try to capture her alone. Some diseases carried by cats can be transmitted to humans and vice versa, such as the deadly rabies, which can be transmitted through a cat's scratches and bites.

In addition, not every cat needs to be rescued. Forget about those cats that look fatter than you and have shinier fur than you~

2. Prepare the cage or flight box

Cages are the safest and most humane way to capture cats. You simply put the food in the cage and close the door when the cat is inside. Then take them to the hospital for examination. If you really can't find a cage, you can also use a cardboard box instead.

3. Avoid reckless capture methods

Do not try to pick up the cat directly, or cover the cat with a bag or anything! This will irritate the cat, cause strong upset, and even cause her injury and yourself. Remember! Do not grab your cat with both hands under any circumstances, give them some time to accept you.

IV. Prepare a place to store the cat

Even for short-term storage, you must find a suitable storage location for your cat. The best location is quiet, dark, and at a moderate temperature to help keep your cat calm. If you need to see a veterinarian within 12 hours of storage, it is best not to open the cage for feeding. This will increase the cat’s discomfort.Anhe escape risk.

5. Take him to the hospital for examination and sterilization

Go to the hospital for a physical examination and make an appointment for sterilization. Neutering is currently the most important step in animal rescue. Think about it, this is much more humane than having animals bred in large numbers and then being "euthanized" one by one~ Moreover, if stray cats are not sterilized after being raised in homes, they are likely to urinate indiscriminately due to estrus, resulting in secondary The risk of abandonment

Correct steps to catch stray cats:

1. Feed for several days before catching

First of all, let the cat get used to eating food at a fixed place every day. At this time, you can use canned cat meat and other meat to attract the cat, but be careful not to feed milk and other foods.

2. Set up “small traps”

Lay out mats in the prepared cage to ensure the cat’s comfort inside, and place food and water basins. Place the cage in a fixed feeding area, open the cage door, and place a small amount of food that your cat is familiar with at the door.

When the cat enters the cage to eat, close the cage door and cover the entire cage with a towel, but leave one side uncovered. Note! Do not use porcelain bowls to serve food. Cats are likely to become irritable and destroy things after being "trapped".

3. Send to hospital

After bringing the cat back, first let her calm down in a quiet and dark place for a while.

Then, take the cat to the hospital for a physical examination, especially internal and external deworming. It is recommended to do a blood test. When the cat begins to adapt to the new environment and has been immunized and dewormed, the cat can be scheduled for sterilization surgery.

4. Contact the adoption agency

Contact local adoption rescue agencies to find suitable adoptive families for them.

The increase in stray cat rescue centers cannot keep up with the growth rate of stray cats. Hundreds or even thousands of stray cats die every day, and there is nothing we can do.

We hope that our efforts can help more stray cats, instead of just talking on paper and not doing anything.
