Here are some ways you can make a difference!

For Pet Cats (Yours or Others')

1. Spay/Neuter – Prevents overpopulation and improves health.

2. Regular Vet Visits – Ensure vaccinations, dental care, and early illness detection.

3. Healthy Diet – Feed age-appropriate, high-quality food.

4. Enrichment – Toys, climbing structures, and interactive play keep cats mentally and physically stimulated.

5. Microchipping – Helps lost cats return home safely.

6. Safe Environment – Keep them indoors or create safe outdoor enclosures.

For Stray & Feral Cats

1. TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) – Humanely trap, sterilize, and return them to their area to stop the breeding cycle.

2. Feeding Stations – Provide clean food and water consistently.

3. Shelter – Set up insulated shelters in cold or wet areas.

4. Monitoring Health – Watch for injuries or illnesses and involve a local rescue if needed.

5. Respect Their Space – Feral cats often don’t want direct human contact, but they still need support.

 

For Shelter & Rescue Cats

1. Adopt – Provide a loving, permanent home.

2. Foster – Temporarily care for cats while they wait for adoption.

3. Donate – Money, food, toys, litter, blankets, and cleaning supplies are always needed.

4. Volunteer – Help with feeding, cleaning, socializing cats, or administrative tasks.

5. Advocate – Share adoptable cats on social media, attend adoption events, or raise awareness.
