- Remember, Animals CANNOT dial 911. You MUST be the voice for the voiceless. If you suspect animal abuse/neglect CALL ASAP. I'd rather be wrong than too late! Think about it.
- SPAY & NEUTER & VACCINATE ALL OF YOUR PETS!Need I say it again? MILLIONS of unwanted cats & dogs & bunnies are EUTHANIZED per year because selfish & irresponsible pet parents do not follow this rule! Please do NOT be counted in this group..
- Try to volunteer or donate to your local animals shelter. Encourage others to do the same.
- EDUCATE. Educate yourself first & others second. Find out about local low cost or free SPAY & NEUTER & VACCINATION clinics in your area & spread the word around to others who need the services of these places. It is obvious who they are.
- SUPPORT TNR's in your community. BEG your local city/town officials to implement this practice to help keep the overpopulation of cats down. TNR means "Trap Neuter Return" Feral & Stray Cats are trapped & then SPAYED/NEUTERED/VACCINATED & released back into the "wild". They will be healthy & unable to breed. A good thing. Kittens are cute but they do grow old & need shots & medical care for cat sickness's such as "Upper Respiratory Infections" & Flea Treatments.
- Do NOT give animals as gifts.
- If you see sick or hurt animals call Animal Control ASAP!
- Use caution when approaching seemingly sick or upset animals.
- Do not take in more than you can handle. It is easy to get overwhelmed. Well meaning people can easily get in over their heads & become the local "Cat/Dog House" & be put in a posistion that is sad (having to give up the cats they saved & grew fond of) either by force IE:Animal Control or Choice IE: Doing what is right for you & the animals.
- IF you do have a cat or dog or cats & dogs. Make certain you can PROPERLY care for ALL of their needs! Flea treatments, Heart Worm Medicines (dogs especially need this ALL Summer long!), Vet bills for the most basic of needs, Emergency vet trips, Etc.
- LOVE you animals as if they were your furry children. They are smart & loving & loyal & will repay your love 10 fold.
- NEVER EVER Allow anyone to hurt or neglect an animal. Period. Ever.
