Here is the poster:
Translation:
“Give us something to drink. We are dying of thirst.
“Thousands of street cats die of thirst every summer. A water dish in the yard saves lives
It is enough to put a large plastic container in a corner of the yard and fill it with water once a day, or else place it underneath the dripping hose of an air conditioner. They will be thankful and your heart will be filled with joy and satisfaction. Thanks.”
Cats Protection may have a fair idea of how many feral colonies there are in England, we know there are not many in our area now which is Wear Valley and Darlington.
I’d think as CP have many branches who will be doing TNR too, it is probably the same everywhere.
Yes, Israel is tolerant of their “community cats”. I think “community cat” is a better description because cats don’t have to belong to a certain person and these cats are probably quite tame. Of course Israel is rare in being the only Middle Eastern country to ban declawing. Mind you the idea of declawing never enters the heads of people in the Middle. It is an American idea.
As for feral cats in England. We are told there are some, perhaps a good number but, like you, I have never seen one and I do quite a bit of walking and I am observant. I don’t believe there are many. I believe there are very few particularly in the more affluent areas and lots of London is fairly or very affluent.
