Stray Animals



What causes stray animals?
Stray animals can be domestic pets that have been given up by owners or have ran away from their houses. Stray animals refers to animals that has no collar which are not owned by anyone and are roaming around the streets looking for food and shelter. The increased of stray animals would be them giving birth and the cycle repeats.

How to prevent stray animals?
Do not feed stray animals as feeding a stray animal just keeps the animal coming back for more. Therefore, property owners should not feed any animal that does not belong to them.

Eliminate urine scent 
The scent of cat urine is horrible! If a cat goes under the house to spray, the scent can travel up into the house through duck work, and it is just awful. Stop them from spraying by cleaning up their scent as soon as possible. Wash the surface down with bleach water and then cover it with a urine odor remover.

Re-homing
Animals that are not reclaimed can then be assessed for re-homing. A centre that offers a re-homing
service must provide the following:
• A clean, safe and healthy environment that meets both biological and psychological needs 
of all animals kept in the centre 
• Quarantine for all incoming animals to safeguard the current inhabitants from infectious diseases 
• Veterinary treatment and prophylactic disease measures should be available for all animals 
• Limitation on numbers housed at any one time to avoid compromising the welfare of the 
current inhabitants.
