Stray Cats

That is a problem...no one EVER wants cats. You can contact a rescue agency that finds homes for animals without putting them to sleep. I don't know where you live, but here in California we have PALS which takes in strays. While they're waiting to find a permanent home they'll be put in foster homes where they will be loved and taken care of...like orphans! I hope you find your furry friends homes soon!

Hi. I also have the same problems as you do, only my garage is becoming the dumping ground of people who don't want cats. I think its because people seem to think that you like pets and that you can take care of these poor animal. But one cat or dog is enough. Dogs have no problems being adopted, cats are a different issue. I've had no choice but to put the cats in the shelter since I cannot care for them because my mother has cancer and I am taking care of her. I know it breaks our heart to see them placed in a shelter, but sometimes wwe don't really have a choice.

In my neighborhood we have strays, too. I can't bear to see an animal hungry so I put out food for the kitties. They don't seem to want any in the summer, strangely enough--I guess they find enough mice and birds to tide them over. If I had the money and could catch them, I'd like to spay/neuter every one of them! That would save them so much misery. Sorry, I have no advice but just wanted to let you know that you have plenty of company!

stray cats and dogs are everywhere and i wonder why their owners allow such pets to wander around without taking care of them, stray cats and dogs are often taken care by the animal control centers here in south africa and most times they do offer people the opportunities to adopt such stray cats and dogs

hi there, Yea, these things happens in my place, too. I have three cats, one comes from a family member, the other two are street cats, they followed me home after several times of feeding them, some people tend to dump them when they are grown big. Sorry about those poor animals, but since there is not an effective way to deal with those street cats and dogs.

I used to pick up stray cats before, but my mom is always mad at me for taking care of one, so i end up sending them away. good thing i don't find them anymore, it's rainy here and probably they're hiding in some shelter from who knows where.i had a contact where i can put these poor little things but she stopped accepting them because she has problem feeding them too.

It is good of you that you are feeding them and looking after them I know it is awful that People will not have older Cats and I do not understand why they don't I don't know what to suggest apart from keep trying there is really nothing else that you can do

I am not sure how to find a good home for a cat unless you have an animal shelter in your area or a humane society or and adoption agency. Dogs seem to be easier to get rid of or find homes for though. People drop them off around here too.

Try to put an add on craigslist or something somebody will want them somewhere. but that is true often if the cat is an adult it is harder. but one thing you can go to keep them from having so many kittens is go get a live trap and take them to the vet to get them spayed or neutered that will help keep the numbers down. or you can try maybe contacting nursing homes or some place that has elderly people who may want an older cat because they just want a lap cat. but if the cats are ferel then you may want to find someone who maybe has a mouse or small rodent problem as the cats can help to keep that down. the last resort however may be to take them to a shelter, or maybe you should post flyers that you have free cats to give away to a good home. people may contact your especialy if you hang them around the shelter.

I think you are a great person for what you are doing...I do have a cat, but I can not have to many because I have a newborn baby, and I wanna avoid the mess and to much bacteria arround my baby. But I used to have like 5 of them once, and usually, was taking me while to find a house for them. It is better to find somebody who is going to take care of them, because in the shelters they will put them down, wich is a sad reallity. Good luck to you and to your great cause!
