Cats
Project Introduction
Sterilisation is the only humane and effective way to reduce and control large populations of stray cats. International Animal Rescue’s vets in India and Indonesia routinely sterilise stray cats living near our rescue centres.
Large communities of stray cats can be a nuisance to people. The animals themselves also suffer from a lack of food, untreated wounds and injuries leading to infection and even death, as well as countless unwanted kittens born to females that are too weak and malnourished to feed them.
As well as providing a sanctuary for unwanted cats, Catastrophes Cat Rescue’s work with feral cats involves spaying and neutering complete colonies and giving any necessary veterinary treatment. Feral cats are returned to their site of capture if long-term food and shelter can be provided. If not, they remain at Catastrophes for life.
