Over the years, a colony of wild cats has developed downtown, here in Regina. You’ve probably seen them, eating the food that people in the downtown community leave out for them, grooming each other, and sleeping in sun puddles in the alley.
However, this feline family is in great danger now, as the buildings that they use for shelter are slated for demolition.
People for Animals is a local animal rescue organization, and we work extensively with feral cats in the city. Downtown residents alerted us to this situation, and we have been working hard to assess the site, find safe rural locations to move the adult cats to, and recruit foster homes to tame and house the kittens.
We have already begun trapping the cats, and so far we have caught, sterilized, and relocated 12 adult cats. We have also caught 12 kittens who are currently warm, well fed, and safe, and will be adopted out to loving homes. Please check out our blog at www.pfasask.blogspot.com for more stories and photos of the downtown cats.
However, we are not yet done. We estimate that there is anywhere from 7 to 12 more adult cats, and 5 to 10 more kittens who need to be relocated. Also, this effort takes a great deal of money to support, as we are committed to sterilizing each adult cat in the process of moving them. Regina and area is overrun with cats, and spaying and neutering is an essential tool to help reduce the number of unwanted cats in our city.
