| Mama & Cardigan, mother and son semi feral cats in our care looking for jobs as mousers |
Feral/Semi feral cats: these are cats and older kittens born
outside who have had little or no socialisation with people. Whilst the best way to deal with these cats is
to trap, neuter and return to site, there are occasions when this isn’t possible
due to safety concerns for the cats or as a result of inner city and rural
development making the site no longer suitable for the cats. Feral/semi feral cats do not crave affection or attention
and are perfectly happy to go about their ‘jobs’ as mousers. They are relocated
to a suitable environment where they can thriveand work hard doing what they
like best. Kittens 8 weeks and under can often be successfully socialised to
people, and are rehomed in a normal home environment.

| Alert and watchful on the job! |
Friendly outdoor cats: these cats need to be homed outdoors
for a variety of reasons. They are
either friendly, temperamental cats who are independent. They prefer the
outdoor life but like to have human attention on their own terms or friendly cats
which have inappropriate toileting behaviour which we have been unable to
resolve behaviour therapy. Cats from multi-cat
households often have very poor socialisation and whilst they like to be around
people, they shy away from human touch preferring to just be in the presence of
people.

| Outdoor cats need regular feeding, water, & shelter |
Contrary to popular belief, regularly fed outdoor cats
are better hunters then hungry ones so outdoor cats need two square meals a day, as well as water, shelter,
somewhere dry to sleep, regular worming treatment and veterinary care when needed Like all of our cats, our ‘workers’ have been blood
tested for FIV & FeLV viruses, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and
health checked so you can adopt with confidence. We have several outdoor cats
looking for employment, so if you have a vacancy please get in touch today! You can contact us on 01656 724396 or email bridgend@cats.org.uk
Purrs for now!
