I have a family of cats that made themselves comfortable in my yard.
I tried calling 311 they said I can bring the cats to their shelter.
Does anyone know of a company that I can pay that will come to my yard and remove the cats???
I tried googling this but didnt come up with any info!!
Please help!
Tips to repel cats:
1. Remove food sources (check trashcans, etc.)
2. Moving water sprinklers
3. Cat repellent plants (sprinkle rue around your yard. Or spray citrus scents).
4. Buy a commercially sold cat repellent spray.
The Wolf
You forgot to put “5.” before “The Wolf”.
Great idea, though.
try the ASPCA
DY: 5 points for that one!!!
Hashem’s mercy is on all creatures. From Tehillim.
You think they chose your yard by chance? Nothing happens without Heavenly oversight.
You have a rare opportunity. Give them a bowel of milk in the morning. It might even be part of your tikkun.
You don’t have to look after them officially, but a bit of milk in the morning can save you from heavy judgement later. You are very lucky.
please dont give cats milk. it can make them very sick. cats need water and would probably be very grateful for some clean water to drink. There is also a mitzva to feed your pets before you eat. I think it only counts for pets, but it means the Torah obviously holds feeding animals as important.
Cats have milk. What are you talking about? They can lick water too.
Cats don’t have cows milk, and I’m guessing most people don’t have cat milk in their fridge do please don’t put out milk for any cats.
Why don’t you do the cats the same thing you would do if it were mice?
If they are a danger or damage your property you can get someone to trap them and give them an injection.
They are no different than the mice or the groundhog that was eating my tomatoes and destroying my whole garden. I got a trapper whose job usually involved trapping skunks but this time it was a groundhog.
State and Interstate regulations prohibit transporting the animal to the countryside because they may end up confused and dead on the highway.($10,000 fine)
The cats in your yard are a result of someone’s negligence who released an animal that they were tired of.
An economic liability, and especially a health hazard, should outweigh the consideration for animals that the Torah expects us to show us to animals.
A shelter will probably give then to another home where they’ll outstay their novelty and again be thrown on the street.
I’m certainly not a rav,so if you think there’s a problem, go ahead and ask.
This was just another opinion that most would be afraid to post.
We had that problem. Thanks to the cat lovers lobby, cats are a much protected breed by law in New York City.
There are altruistic sorts who will take the cats away to have them neutered (free of charge) and might not bring them back; as in our case.
Excellence,
In one word-
Toxoplasmosis.
Most adult cats can’t drink milk of any kind.
If the cats are caught and Animal cControl is called to pick them up, they WILL put down the animals, as they do not have the time to try to tame them. Even friendly cats that are taken there are put down, because, they do not have the space or resources to house the thousands of animals that are brought to them. They even post in their infamous kill list, where various groups/people will try to pull them out, but in most cases there are just too many too save.
Sorry you have a problem, the best thing is try to put repellants around. Coffee Grounds, citrus scents, mothballs. Or you get close enough a spray bottle with water. They do not like to get wet.
If you feed them paracetomol that will make their stomachs burst.
What’s wrong with cats? Would you rather have rodents? You really side with the rats and mice over the cats?
Cats also eat birds. (So if you love pigeons, besides for being a character on Sesame Street you should get rid of cats.)
I know exactly how to take care of your problem. *cracks knuckles*
Most cats are lactose intolerant. Giving them milk will only create a bigger mess.
If you do want to feed the cats (which by the way, will almost guarantee that they will not go away), the best thing to do would be do by cat food at your local pet store.
I didn’t consider the health side. Fair enough, I concede my points.
put on some oven mitts and just pick em up and put em in a box.
Put up a sign “No cats allowed”.
Google the organization Neighborhoodcats.
