Before cats became mainstream household pets, they lived a life of wandering and self-reliance in the wild.

Until today, many stray cats have also survived in the wild for a long time.

The number of cats in 29 observation sites was tracked for a longer period and it was found that stray cats generally do not live longer than three years due to living conditions, shock, lack of food and water, etc.

Many caring people in society are very concerned about stray cats and take the initiative to help them.

Many communities have well-wishers who provide food for stray cats at regular intervals, maybe just leftovers, maybe not enough, but enough to enable stray cats to survive.

However, the feeding of food brings another serious problem: due to the fixed feeding, more and more stray cats gather together, making stray cats multiply and the number of stray cats continues to increase, which not only forms a vicious circle but also brings great difficulties in the rescue of stray cats.

Therefore, more and more caring organizations start to de-sex stray cats.

1. Trapping.

For stray cats that are close to people, you can give them some food to lure them, and gradually approach them and catch them in the cage.

If it is a very alert stray cat, do not forcefully capture it to avoid accidents.

You can contact an animal rescue organization and use a special trapping cage to capture it.

2. De-sexing.

De-sexing is an internationally recognized method to effectively control the number of stray animals.

Some large and medium-sized cities already have pet hospitals that can de-sex stray cats for free.

If a stray cat needs to be de-sexed, you can contact the animal rescue organization to apply for a free de-sexing quota.

3. Release.

After the cats are de-sexed, they will be released back into the familiar environment in the community and fed and watered at regular intervals.

Generally, male cats can be released the same day after surgery, while female cats need a few days of care.

Animal rescue organizations can also be contacted to find adoptive homes for young or family-friendly cats.

Through the above methods, the quality of life of existing stray cats can be relatively improved, the number of stray cats will gradually decrease, and the social problems they generate will also be gradually reduced.

It should be noted that in the process of rescuing cats, not all people will agree, and the impact on the surrounding environment and the normal life of other residents should be taken into consideration, so as not to disturb people or damage the community environment.

For those cats that cannot be given a stable environment or home, try not to be particularly close to it and preferably cast food at a distance.

After all, for those stray cats that still have to survive outdoors, it will be safer for them to maintain the wariness of humans.
