Did you know that providing food, clean water and a bale of straw in several totes, a barn, or a she’d could save an innocent animal from freezing to death or getting frostbite?
Just because they are animals and have fur… they get cold too! If your cat colony doesn’t survive the winters then you are not providing enough for them. Please dont use blankets, they get wet and the cat / dog will freeze to death. Only provide straw!
If you think living underneath a shed/ or a house is enough shelter… it’s not! Dogs /Cats need straw so they can maintain their body heat.
If you care enough to feed them ,then provide shelters with straw for them as well! Please get them fixed! Trapping is easy and snyone csn learn to do it!
Fresh Straw should be added at least once/twice a month to prevent the animal from freezing. If it’s smashed down, it’s time to add more straw. If your cat or dog is friendly, bring them inside, animals left outside are usually neglected! Out of sight, out of mind!
If you can’t bring them inside, then ask yourself, Why do you even have that cat or dog?
Life for a dog on a chain or put away in a kennel is not a good life. Ask yourself… would you want to live on that chain / or in a cage ,out in the cold/ heat? Away from your family that’s supposedly supposed to love you??? Most dogs that are kept outside get fed once or twice a day and don’t get bathed, doesn’t get attention beyond getting fed… doesn’t get toys or any exercise or social interaction. Animals have feelings and deserve better than a life outside in the elements. If you have a pet… bring them inside! If you wont bring them inside, then perhaps join them outside!
If you have a feral cat/ or colony, please provide shelters with insulation and straw, provide fresh water at all times and plenty of food. Add kitten food to their food for extra fat /protein during the winter months so they can put on more weight and stay warmer.
The majority of our local shelters offer free straw… if you are needing help, Speak up! Theres several groups that will help you with shelters , tarps and straw.
Please be kind to all of God Creatures, If you can’t help them, please don’t hurt them!
If you have an issue with anything that I’ve said ,then feel free to leave my page. This is how I feel about animals outside and nothing you say will change my mind!
