Feral Cats Try New Foods: Sardines Edition๐ค๐ป

โ๐กThese cats are still seeking homes ๐กโ
The Task Force has had a few comments on our feral cat updates of people saying, โthese cats donโt seem feralโ. We want to emphasize that although these kitties have come a long way, they are only social with select people! Due to their consistent feeding schedule, environment and socializers, this has allowed them to trust humans.
Once they are rehomed, they will require an adjustment period to acclimate and begin their bonding with a new caregiver! This is why a minimum of 30-60 days in a confined indoor space is essential for feral catโs success.
Share, comment and like this post to help find these cuties a forever home (preferably in an indoor/outdoor space like a barn, stable or heated enclosure). ๐๐

It's kitten season... and the Task Force is here to remind you: PLEASE spay and neuter your animals! ๐๐
Overpopulation is a big issue with cats and dogs in Alberta and animal welfare organizations simply can't keep up. The most responsible thing you can do for your companion animals is ensure they are spayed/neutered. ๐พ๐ค
Did you know that 1 male and 1 female dog and their offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in 6 years?! Additionally, 1 male and 1 female cat and offspring can produce 42,000 cats in 7 years?!

Itโs been a busy week at the office which started with an intake of 54 cats! ๐ซจ The Task Force sprang into action and headed to Southern Alberta on Wednesday morning after receiving a plea for assistance. Upon arrival they were able to safely secure the cats and get them loaded into the vehicle for transport back to our office in Calgary.
They were greeted by the rest of our team who had been preparing for the cats arrival. Once unloaded the cats were tucked in for the night with cozy beds and full bellies. The cats will remain in our care temporarily until we can find placement with our partner organizations so they can be placed up for adoption.๐๐
We are eternally grateful to our partner animal welfare organizations that always manage to find space in their shelters, despite operating at capacity. It is truly community support and collaboration that will help us get through these tough times.
The Task Force, and many other animal welfare organizations operate by donations. Whether you can volunteer, donate supplies or provide monetary support - anything helps! https://cataskforce.org/support-us/

โ ๏ธTRIGGER WARNINGโ ๏ธ April is National Animal Cruelty Prevention Month
โ ๏ธTrigger Warningโ ๏ธ
April is National Animal Cruelty Prevention Month and we're reminded of the painful circumstances faced by countless innocent creatures. This footage we have shared of cats living in horrific conditions is just a glimpse of the many animals we have helped from hoarding and neglect. The Canadian Animal Task Force is working hard to educate and bring awareness to the cruel reality that so many animals face. All animals deserve space, respect, and a warm loving home.
Sadly, such cases are all too frequent in the realm of animal welfare BUT silence won't solve it. If you witness or know of cruelty, don't hesitate to report it to the Alberta SPCA or your local authorities. Together, we can end their suffering. **note: all of these cats have been removed and re-homed into loving, caring homes**

โฃ๏ธSTILL SEEKING HOMES: These nine feral kitties are still awaiting their forever homes!
Feral kitty quick facts:
1. They all vary on their level of comfortability with humans, and would do best in a heated outdoor enclosure of some variation with access to the outdoors.
2. All nine cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tattooed and have been treated for parasites.
3. They will require a minimum of 30 days in a confined indoor space to allow for integration in their new space. This allows them to acclimate and feel a sense of safety and security.
4. They can be rehomed all together or in groups.
If you're interested in providing a loving home, please email [email protected] for more information. Please help us find their new home by sharing this post with your friends & family ๐๐

๐พ Happy #AdoptAShelterPetDay! ๐พ Today, we're sending a heartfelt thank you to our incredible partner rescue organizations. ๐๐
Their dedication and support are what keep our mission alive. Without them, we simply wouldn't be able to make the impact we do. ๐ It's important to recognize that the shelters and rescues are operating at over-capacity due to the ongoing issue of dog and cat overpopulation. Despite this challenge, our partners continue to step up, taking in more animals and providing them with hope for a brighter future.
Today, let's celebrate these unsung heroes and all the wonderful shelter pets waiting for their forever homes. ๐ก Remember, when you adopt, you're not just bringing home a petโyou're saving a life.
