Do you have a missing pet?

Go to www.missingpetpartnership.org. The site features wonderful advice on finding your lost pet, including tips on animal behavior, making signs that get noticed and where to put them, and advice on “pet detectives” and even training dogs to track lost pets. We talked to these people at the No More Homeless Pets Conference sponsored by Best Friends Animal Society last year, and they are a wealth of information about techniques that have a very high success rate.”

Is that “stray” cat in your yard really a stray or abandoned pet, or is it a feral (wild) cat?

If you suspect it’s feral, the only successful way to handle the situation is through TNR, or Trap, Neuter, Return. This method really works for controlling feral cats, and it’s the only thing that does. For more information, visit www.alleycat.org.

Got cat problems?

Neighbor’s cats digging in your yard? Are you getting complaints from neighbors about your own pet? Visit www.Neighborhoodcats.org for lots of tips about solving neighborhood problems with pets, whether they belong to you or someone else.

Is your pet misbehaving?

Cats with litter box problems? Dogs with separation anxiety? Consult an animal behaviorist. Cornell now sends their behaviorists to Syracuse one day a week. Go to www.vet.cornell.edu/abc for more information, or to start the process rolling. It’s very inexpensive, usually successful, and the price includes a physical exam, and as many telephone follow-ups as necessary to solve the problem. Animal Behaviorists are veterinarians who specialize in how animals behave and why. They can also prescribe drugs, if necessary, to help the behavior modification process along.

Shelters are full. Rescues are full. What happens if someone really has to rehome a pet? Placements are so few and far between that many of these pets end up on the streets, and 85% of them aren’t spayed or neutered, reproducing at alarming rates. The inevitable result is more feral cat colonies, and more un-owned cats to take up the little shelter space that exists. There is a way out of this! Go to www.myspace.com/sheltertopia. Our blog explains how other communities have already provided shelter space for every animal that needs it without euthanizing any of them due to lack of space. Somehow, we have to accomplish this in Onondaga County and throughout Central New York. And please share your opinions and ideas on our blog. This is a community problem and it will take the whole community to solve it.
