Cat Carrier

The news is full of stories where family pets as well as strays are being dropped off at Animal Control.  One report stated that thirteen kittens had been left outside an animal shelter in a couple cat carriers. Another told of ten puppies being dropped off at a humane society.

Why this sudden rise in abandoned pets?  Well, part of the reason is due to the fact that summertime is breeding time for feral cats.  But the numbers have grown substantially over prior summers.  So what’s going on?

In a word, the economy.  Foreclosures are on the rise and this affects pets and their owners. Tough economic conditions create tough choices.  Many pet owners have to ask themselves if they can afford to keep their pets.  It’s becoming more apparent that the answer to this question is no.  They must feed their families first and then there’s nothing left.  This is a unfortunate situation.
