The problem of the abandonment of cats is a problem that is very present throughout the world. But not only do we have this one, but there are also still too many furry people who have grown up on the street and who have to do what they can every day to get ahead. Of these, there are more and more.
The felines that we have in cities and towns cannot survive without help. Therefore, if you are thinking of giving them a hand, then I will explain to you how to care for a feline colony.
First of all you should know what to care for and control a feline colony takes time and money. The objective must always be to provide them with the best care so that they can lead a dignified life, and that happens by taking them to the vet to vaccinate them y castrate them, and again every time they are sick. Besides, obviously, giving them food and water.
If you want to help and do not have much money, it is highly recommended that you help a Protector who is already taking care of a colony. You can find out which ones are in your area by asking at the veterinary clinic.
With this in mind, let's now know how to care for a feline colony:
- Food: you should give him a dry cat food, about 3-4 times a day. To avoid legal problems, find out if feeding them is prohibited in your area or if you can ask for a card. Anyway, you should know that if you hit them on private property - with the owner's permission, of course - they can't tell you anything.
- "Salud": As we have commented, they will need vaccinations, castration and veterinary control every time they are sick.
- Protection: if they are in a dangerous place, you can move them to a safer place by following the steps indicated in this article.
I also recommend avoid socializing a lot with them. Think that they live on the street, where unfortunately people who do not like cats pass. Accustoming those in the colony to human touch and affection can be dangerous. Therefore, I only advise you to do it if these animals are really in a safe place.
Feline colonies can lead a better life if we help them.
Hello, good morning, my name is Georgia and I would like to know if I can be fined for feeding at the door or garage of my house, since many neighbors have complained but the gambling dens only go out at night but the neighbors say that in their Gardens piss, the local police went to my house and told me but I told them that I feed them inside my house and also called the protector and they told me that wild animals do not catch that it was a problem of the city hall, the police asked and she has said no, that it is the protector who has to pick them up and what can I do, I am sorry you don't go out to eat and drink, help me and something else could fine me, I look forward to an answer. Thanks.
Hi Georgina.
No, for feeding them on private property, your property, you cannot be fined. At most, they could complain, but you can let anyone in your garage or at home.
Greetings and encouragement.

Hi Georgina.
No, you cannot be fined for that.
You can ask for help on Facebook. Perhaps there you will find a protector in your area who can give you a hand with the cats.
A greeting.
