Hello everyone, I'm Tutu~
The stray cats in the city have reached the phenomenon level, irresponsible people raise cats and cats for a few months and then abandon them, well-wishers can't bear to let small animals wander and starve to go to disease rescue and feeding, and onlookers think that too many stray animals affect the social environment, which has become a controversial topic.
There have been many friends who have asked me, "It's very pitiful to see a cat on the side of the road, and after feeding it for a few days, I'm afraid that it will become a cat mother and bring a group of kittens, and I can't feed so many cats, and I'm afraid that the neighbors will have opinions, what should I do?" ”
In order to curb the number of stray cats in the city, balance the life of abandoned small animals and maintain the social environment, so that they do not continue to the second and third generations of stray cats, the public welfare rescue platform in recent years has launched various stray cat sterilization subsidies, and the process is also very mature!
And so—
Today, let's talk about how to make stray cats cut off their seven emotions and six desires
*This article interviewed 40+ stray cats who could not take care of themselves at home, as well as Aunt Jingjing, who applied for more than 300 sterilization discounts for healthy stray cats.
1. Preliminary judgment on whether the physical condition is suitable for sterilization
Usually feeding stray cats is non-contact, and the physical condition is preliminarily judged...... Naturally, it is also judged by experience and eyes
For example, it has discharge from its eyes, small or small eyes that can't be opened or squinted, discharge from its nose, constant saliva at the corners of its mouth, obvious odor on its body, unsmooth body hair, swollen joints or wounds, etc., in this case, it is necessary to treat it first and then consider the next step.
The most commonly used treatment method is to add a small amount of amoxicillin capsule powder (1/4 for kittens, 1/2 for big cats) to the cat's favorite food (such as canned cat food and cat strips), once a day, for three consecutive days, to observe the improvement, and feed it for a few more days if it improves. In the case of oral administration, oral treatment is preferred, such as sprays, surface creams and other treatments, stray cats may be scared.
It is worth noting that among the anti-inflammatory capsules that can also be eaten by humans, amoxicillin is the first choice. Other ingredients that contain acetaminophen are not suitable for cats. If you have the conditions, you can directly buy Sunuo tablets for cats, which are a little more expensive, but the formula is more suitable for the cat's physical condition.
We usually use canned food to exchange medicine, and the average price is 2.8 yuan a can after a big promotion:
Second, the health of the body is re-dewormed
If the cat's body looks good, or after eating amoxicillin for a while, it can be dewormed, deworming is divided into internal drive and external drive, internal drive is oral, external drive is the back of the neck meat drop to whom. It is highly recommended to give priority to oral anthelmintic drugs, such as veterinary albendazole, and people who are good at mathematics can also use human SmithKline intestinal worm to convert the amount of each cat to eat, which are used for oral internal repellent. You can also ask the people who have cats in the community, if someone happens to feed half of Hai Lemiao, you can go and ask for the remaining half of it
My little black eats half of it, and the other half is always randomly fed to the little stray people.
If the cat is very well-behaved, you can usually touch it, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a little in vitro deworming medicine, and you can quickly and ruthlessly click on the back of its neck! It is not realistic to slowly remove the hair and then squeeze it for a few seconds, just think about it......
It is worth noting that the anthelmintic medicine can not be taken in excess, and in the case of inexperience, it is best to let someone with experience in raising cats make an approximate weight judgment to convert the dosage, or spend medical expenses to deworm after being sent to the hospital.
Our commonly used deworming medicine for stray cats, a box of 4 capsules, can deworm 8 cats:
RAMICAL pet deworming medicine dog deworming cat internal deworming medicine deworming medicine 4 tablets/box
Only dare to use the external drive for docile cats, squeeze it on the cotton swab first, and quickly click on the back of its neck:
MOFEI cat in vitro with deworming non-predronil drops 0.5ml*3 pet adult kittens insect deworming ear mites scabies, lice, fleas, roundworms, hookworms, ticks, parasites, deworming medicine
3. Flight box or trap cage?
What is the difference between an airbox and a trap?
To put it simply, the pet kennel is to attract the cat in, the door must be closed by itself, or make a pull rope to close the door by yourself, and humans hide and secretly pull the door...... Well, the defect of the pull rope is obvious, it can't be locked in an instant, and when it encounters a cat with a lot of strength, it doesn't have time to lock it and runs out
It can only be used for cats with good temper who can be directly stuffed into the flight box with the meat on the back of their necks, or cats who are already very close to each other and are willing to throw themselves into the net......
When encountering a timid and afraid stray cat, you should set up a trap cage, which can be rented by a local agency that rescues stray cats, and the public account and Baidu search will have, put the cat's favorite food into the trap cage, cover the cage with an old towel, and give the cage a relatively dim environment, and the greedy cat will sneak in to eat canned food by itself, and the cage will automatically close the door when stepping on the cage mechanism!
The disadvantages of trap cages are...... If you are not careful, you will catch other cats that are more gluttonous, and every time we downstairs, there are a few big stomachs that have been sterilized to rush into the trap cage to eat canned food, and they are locked in the cage several times and die without repentance...... Therefore, every time before catching a cat, you must feed the surrounding big stomach kings first, and then go to catch the target cat...... In case it is caught that other non-neutered cats, it is okay, at this time, it doesn't matter if it is dewormed or not, first send the self-cast cat to the hospital so that the doctor can judge what needs to be done and then sterilize, focusing on a Buddhist system.
In order to avoid small stray real scare, whether it is a flight box or a trap cage, it is best to put disposable pet diapers underneath!
Easy to abduct directly coaxed/caught into the flight box:

If you don't know how to catch it, you can go to a public welfare organization to apply for assistance in borrowing a trap cage, or you can get one yourself:

Cover the surface of the cage with an old towel, if you don't have one, you can get a cover:

Disposable pet urine pads under the cage:

Fourth, the choice of sterilization program
Find out whether there are local public welfare organizations that rescue stray cats, such as Shenzhen Cat Network, Guangzhou Xixi Forest, etc., in Baidu, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, B station, WeChat public account, etc., you can try to search, some public welfare subsidies are particularly low after the price, such as Shenzhen Cat Network is free of spay, and the treatment of other diseases during hospitalization is 6~8% off; The cooperative hospital of Guangzhou Xixi Forest is more than 100 yuan, and the hospitalization is 20 yuan a day, including all-inclusive medicine and cat food. Whether preoperative examination, electrical monitoring of the operation center, anesthesia method, etc., all have a certain impact on the fee.
After sending the cat to the hospital, let the doctor do a simple check to see if there are other diseases that affect the sterilization, if there are still physical problems, you can choose to stay in the hospital for treatment or bring it back for treatment, if there is no problem, you can arrange surgery.
In the case of good health, the amount of work for male cats is relatively small and simple, and they can choose to be cheaper, or even to grab free spaying; Because the amount of work is different, female cats are more suitable for sterilization with blood testing, respiratory anesthesia, and intraoperative monitoring.
It is worth noting that the operation to apply for the stray cat sterilization subsidy will be operated on the ear tag of stray cats, simply put, it is to cut a gap in the ear as a mark, so that everyone knows that the cat has been sterilized, so as to avoid the situation that the male cat is mistaken for an unneutered female cat and a female cat that has been neutered after being caught!
If the cat has a docile personality and high appearance, the probability of being adopted is high, and if you don't want to cut the ear tag, you can only pay the pet sterilization price. It is recommended to take a few beautiful photos to find the adopter first, and then let the adopter make the follow-up arrangements on their own.
5. Postoperative care
After surgery, you can choose to be inpatient care, and those who are able to do so can also be taken home for cage care.
The advantage of inpatient care is that you need to pay a certain amount of hospitalization fee, and the doctor and nurse will be responsible for checking the cat's wounds every day, and other diseases can also be treated together; The disadvantage is that there are too many pets in the hospital, and a row of cages full of cats and dogs may cause uneasiness for small strays, and most of the doctor's energy is devoted to caring for family pets, and the attention to small stray can only be a short time a day.
The advantage of taking home caged care is that the environment is quieter than that of hospitalization, and the rescuer can also give more care to the cats after surgery; The disadvantage is that the rescuer needs to have a certain experience in raising cats, and can cope with various situations after surgery, and if there are aboriginal cats at home, it is also necessary to isolate aborigines and small stray people to avoid cross-infection of viruses that have not yet been identified.
In the nursing process, the most important part is to wear Elizabeth rings, there are many kinds of soft rings on the market, in actual use, these rings are heavy, there is a certain pressure on the cat's neck (especially stray cats, generally thin), and the neutering clothing will protect the wound while also making the wound covered not enough to breathe, and the healing speed will be slowed down. In summary, it is recommended to use the most traditional plastic Elizabeth ring, which is lighter and conducive to the recovery of the wound.
Nowadays, most hospitals spray silver ion spray on the wound, and before the silver coating is gone, you don't need to treat it, and the silver coating is off, and you can rub iodophor on the wound. If you have the conditions, you can also buy other cat-specific functional sprays, which have better results.
Some hospitals have given long-acting anti-inflammatory injections during the operation, and there is no need to feed the medicine after the operation; And some cats are not suitable for long-acting anti-inflammatory injections, so they need to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs for a few days in the later stage...... As for the hard plug medicine program, it is not recommended, it is too tiring to fight with stray cats, and it may also waste medicine. If the hospital does not dispense medicine, you can buy meloxicam tablets for animals, and the dosage is converted according to body weight, one pill can be eaten for about six or seven days when N parts are broken, and one box can be distributed to N cats, which is very economical
Male cats can be released after 3~5 days of scabbing and scabbing of the wound; The female cat can be released after 7~10 days of scabbing and scabbing of the wound.
After countless lessons, it is still easy to use simple plastic rings:

The conditions are generally iodine and the conditions are good:
Kelu spray compound lysozyme spray skin mucosal disinfection sterilization and bacteriostatic trauma infection disinfection skin 30ml
Home care is best in cages, so as not to affect the cat's recovery due to excessive movements:
Xinyue changhui cat cage cat villa cat cage with toilet integrated large household cat kennel cat house double cat cage
Feeding medicine can be mixed with cat strips:
Beijing Tokyo made cat snacks cat strips 12g*60 mixed wet food soft canned adult cats and kittens
6. Release
After the cat recovers, it is necessary to release them, if its previous territory environment is okay, it is recommended to put it back in the original territory, it will be more familiar. If the previous site environment is not good, the fate of the small stray may be rough after the release, you can choose to contact the stray cat group protection point whether to take in, or put it in a place where the rescuer is familiar with and often feeds the cat, let it see that there is water and food when it is first placed, and the smart cat will probably not run too far, but begin to be familiar with the environment near water and food.
Neutered cats will be more docile, there will be fewer land grabbing, and there will be no second and third generations, which can reduce the pressure on stray cats in the city, and is an important part of balancing abandoned small animals and maintaining the social environment.
Finally, the life span of domestic cats is generally 15 years and above, and the longest life span of stray cats is only 3~5 years, they are abandoned by the original owner after no fixed place, hungry, and may encounter accidents, traffic accidents, bad people beat cats and poisonous cats, rain and snow, may make their life shorter, please think twice before raising pets, do not abandon cats on a whim for a few months, stray cats want to live is very difficult, we insist on raising only a little more tolerance and patience, This sense of responsibility is the most basic kindness of a living life and a human being.
