Death by poison is slow and tortuous and anyone with an iota of a heart would never consider using poison to get rid of stray cats.

Perhaps as households we can try simple things like reducing the food waste so that stray cats don’t have anything to rummage into.

Second, do people actually pay attention to the rubbish bins in front of their houses? Keep the lid on at all times. I have yet to come across a cat that can lift the bin top.

Third, there are numerous natural methods to deter cats from the garden and the hosh around the house. These should be investigated.

i want to open an animal shelter but i dont know how, if anyone can let me know how and what do i need to do please email me at Oceayana_silvermist@hotmail.com. my first aim is clearing as much cats from each area giving them their medical care and find them a good home either in kuwait or outside kuwait before going for cats in other areas, and does it has to be in wafra, its too far away from where i live..

Just a quick comment. Animal Friends charges a very reasonable 30kd fee for people who are abandoning their pets. On average, we invest around 100kd per animal. We ask people who rescue animals to give a donation and suggest 30kd, but we have never refused an animal because of failure to pay.

On a different note, stay animal management is a hot topic in every developing nation. The only effective method of population control is a trap, sterilize, release program. Cats should only be caught using humane live traps, and dogs can be caught using nets, traps, and chemical capture.

An for the record, Animal Friends does not keep animals in cages, nor do we euthanize animals for longevity. We have an aggressive cat adoption program, and we have an international transport program. Both of these prevent us from having to euthanize perfectly adoptable animals.

Any further questions can be addressed to info@animalfriendskuwait.org

I volunteer at PAWS. The fact is the animal shelters are there for sick or rescued animals, not strays or unwanted pets. Too many people hand over unwanted pets and now we’re having to put animals down because we have no room. Kuwait needs to hire specialist teams to tranquilize cats and then ‘fix’ them so that they don’t breed. There also needs to be some sort of law against maltreatment of animals.

I think everyone should take these cats and give them homes people in the neighborhood should take 2 in then they will not be homeless cats anymore. shelters keep them in cages forever..

people need to stop throwing so much food out
or make the garbage less accessible.

when u reduce the food cats wont breed as much..

it really is a major problem

before having a few cats around was a good thing cause they catch mice and such

now there too lazy to walk from one garbage to the next!
