So when does a Stray become yours and your responsibility ??
Believe it or not I have had calls from people to help
rehome strays they have been feeding for years, so I
ask myself how long does it take before a Stray becomes the responsibility of
the person who is feeding it?
I mean they feed the stray everyday and even watch kittens
arrive year after year but don't class the problem as theirs as it wasn't their
cat in the beginning.
They could have chose to get the stray spayed, taken
it into their home, taken to a rescue.
My opinion is that if you start
something you should do it properly and see it to the end, quite often
numerous people in an area will be feeding strays which are breeding yet if
they all gave a £1 a week for a few weeks they could pay for the stray to be
trapped and spayed.
If people continue to turn their back or expect rescue
groups to always pick up the pieces then the problems will only escalate where
as if everyone pulls together and tries to make a difference we can achieve
miracles. We will always do what we can to help, this may be to provide food, help
with costs of Neutering and veterinary treatment etc.
