In the lives of pet owners, various events happen - moving to another apartment (sometimes rented) or country, allergies, financial crisis - and all of them can lead to the fact that the previously beloved cat is no longer needed by the owner.

But, despite what happened, the person is faced with the task of finding a home for his pet - throwing him out into the street is strictly prohibited.

Why you can't throw your cat out on the street

The first reason why you should never throw a domestic cat outside is that it is not adapted to independent life: a former domestic animal does not know how to get food and can easily become a victim of accidents.

There are many dangers that await a cat on the street: cars, dogs, cruel people, cold in winter.

A cat can become seriously ill and even die if it eats poisoned or spoiled food or becomes very cold.

These are just some of the dangers a stray cat may face.

Where can I place a cat?

Instead of considering the street as a potential home for your cat, try surrendering your pet to a shelter, making arrangements with volunteers for temporary care, or giving it to friends or relatives for care.

You can also find a new owner for the cat by placing an ad in a newspaper or online. In large cities, a cat cafe can become a new home for the cat.
