Petition: Introduce a national strategy to tackle the cat overpopulation and rescue crisis

This strategy should seek to expand affordable neutering, support overwhelmed rescue centres, strengthen responsible pet ownership education, and review measures to reduce irresponsible breeding and cat abandonment.

When you "rescue" a few animals and don't effing NEUTER them!

These stupid people.
Omg

5 year ban apparently... which is way more than most animal killers get!

A couple have been banned from keeping animals for five years after more than 100 rabbits were found packed and living in squalor in multiple cages at their Shortstown home.

Helen Sykes
Leicestershire
(Baby area?)

Absolute disgrace of a woman, fostered 2 cats needing a better life and she's neglected them and "lost" them, coincidentally because she was getting a kitten from her irresponsible daughter soon..

Now MILO IS DEAD because of her.

The rescue apparently were also too busy to go and locate the cats after disgraceful Helen "accidentally" evicted them!

Post on nextdoor for anyone wanting to read it.

Shattering the MYTH people and a lot of vets will try to continue to spread about cats and foxes.

Please stop.

It's laughable.

🐱🦊 Despite common misconceptions, foxes in the UK generally do not pose a threat to domestic cats. In most cases, they share a harmonious existence, with cats often holding the upper hand.

The dynamic between foxes and cats is fascinating, often resembling a high-stakes game of cat and mouse—or rather, cat and fox. When faced with an approaching cat, foxes are more likely to retreat to avoid potential harm from the cat's sharp claws and teeth, following the wisdom of "better safe than sorry" in the wild.

While exceptions exist, most fox-cat interactions showcase the feline's dominance and control. Instances where a fox might pose a danger to a cat typically occur during the early weeks of cub season when the fox is protecting its den and young offspring. Cats, being skilled hunters, may take birds, rabbits, and even young fox cubs during this time. However, in most confrontations, the fox tends to come off worse as cat bites and scratches can lead to fatal infections in foxes.

Numerous heartwarming examples of cats and foxes playing together are witnessed, with cats often asserting their dominance. While there are rare exceptions to this rule, these isolated incidents tend to garner undue attention, fueling misconceptions about foxes being a threat to cats in the area.

When a fox is seen carrying a cat away, it is more likely that it is carrying its own young or, if indeed a cat, that the cat has fallen victim to a road traffic accident, and the fox is simply seizing an easy meal. These occurrences should not be misconstrued as deliberate attacks by foxes on cats.

Let us appreciate the beauty of nature's harmony and remember that foxes play a valuable role in our ecosystem. By understanding and respecting their behaviours, we can ensure a peaceful coexistence with these magnificent creatures.
