What if there aren't community cats in my area?
The "What To Do" and "TNR" tabs under the Menu both have to do with what to do after a community cat sighting. But there are other ways to make a direct impact on community cats, even if there aren't any in your immediate vicinity. It begins with educating yourself (read "About Strays and Ferals"), and leads to activism like encouraging local shelters to adopt the No-Kill policy and volunteering your time with local rescue groups.
Volunteer
Research rescue groups in your area. Alley Cat Allies has a great web of rescues called Feral Friends. If you're eighteen or older, consider volunteering at a veterinarian's or shelter. Volunteering can be done in your own time, so it's helpful if you have a busy schedule. You don't have to work directly with the cats to help them. Spread the word about helping community cats, and volunteer the time to educate your friends, family, and the general public.
Become an Activisit
Encourage local shelters to adopt the No-Kill policy. Write letters to community leaders asking for shelter reforms. Educate the community on feral cat myths so that people have a better understanding of their community cats.
Donate
Steps can't be taken to help community cats without funding. Things like food, water, and cages can't be bought. Cats in shelters won't get the love, attention, and toys that they deserve if the people who work with them aren't paid. If you're not sure how exactly to help cats, donating is the best way to ensure your money goes out to all the community cats who need it most.
