Cat Tales
Alley Cat Rescue of Maryland has marked March 3rd as the start of the Feral Fix Challenge, an annual global event that brings together veterinarians and communities throughout the word in an effort to save the lives of feral cats.
The Challenge, currently in its 11th year, asks veterinarians to get involved with trap-neuter-return (TNR) by providing either low cost or free spay/neuters and rabies vaccinations for free roaming cats. Since its inception, over 130,000 cats have been spayed and neutered by more than 1,500 participating vets worldwide.
And because approximately 860,000 cats are euthanized in American shelters each year many of them newborn kittens or free roaming cats – the most successful way to lower this staggering statistic is to slow the breeding cycle among the feral cat population.
Barbara Leedom: Fur Sure
Barbara Leedom
There’s a bill pending in our MA Legislature that would ban sales of furs in our state. H.1592 and S.1029 would “prohibit the sale of new fur products in Massachusetts.”
A long time ago we didn’t think much about fur-wearing. Some of us remember our mothers and grandmothers wearing foxes, which served as coat collars. How those fox skins, complete with ears and hardened eyes, died and became fashionable coat collars, we didn’t think about when we were kids. Sometimes, though, we were spooked by those little faces that were once alive.
