Cat - Mildcats - How to Save Cats, Improve your Life and Theirs

Arizona State University`s Mildcats program saves abandoned cats on campus and gets them ready for adoption by seeing to their health needs and neutering them and getting all the necessary shots. Mildcats is served by faculty, staff and students, who give generously of their time and resources for the love of cats. Wild cats are not put up for adoption. They are trapped, neutered and released. This practice serves to reduce the wild population because the released cats return to their roles in the wild population where their interaction with the other cats does not produce offspring. I got two cats from Mildcats. If you want to see them, pictures are posted on this website: freewebs.com/krikokriko/index.htm Mildcats is only one of many such organizations of cat lovers who hate to see them killed because of over-population. A national clearing house exists too. You can find a unit near you which will help you find a pet to adopt: adopt-a-cat.1-800-save-a-pet.com When you get a cat as a pet you should be sure that it is neutered. The world has more cats than can be taken care of. It is generally in the best interest of your cat to keep it indoors at all times. That prevents diseases and attacks which could lead to its death. Some people de-claw their cats. This is considered inhumane by most advocates of cat care. It is like cutting off the first digits of your fingers. It is painful and leaves the cat defenseless. It is cruel to do this just for your own convenience. There is a product called soft-paws which is essentially plastic fingernails or claws which are glued on. They last about a month. Some people prefer that to clipping the points of the claws regularly. I clip my cats` claws just before feeding them their canned food for the day. When I pick up the clippers, they come-a-runnin`. It is easy to find all sorts of information on cat care on the internet and at the library and bookstore. Consider saving a cat today, or at least contributing to those wonderful organizations saving cats everywhere.
