Three new information leaflets on cat rescue and welfare from the Feline Advisory Bureau (FAB): Setting up a Shelter for Rescued Cats, Setting up a Neutering Project for Feral Cats, Starting a Boarding Cattery - What You Need to Know

Extract

The Feline Advisory Bureau has published three new information sheets which offer advice and guidance for those seeking to work with rescued or feral cats, or who wish to start their own boarding cattery. Setting up a Shelter for Rescued Cats, written by Anne Haughie (author of FAB's Cat Rescue Manual) provides a useful and comprehensive overview of the issues covered within her larger manual. It addresses the initial planning and equipment needed to ensure a successful shelter, and gives practical advice on accommodation, management and husbandry routines. The second leaflet, Setting up a Neutering Project for Feral Cats, also by Anne Haughie, details step-by-step how to set up and implement a feral cat neutering project, from its advance planning through to the trapping, handling and re-release of the now neutered ferals. It identifies the veterinarian support that is likely to be needed and stresses the importance of formulating an euthanasia policy prior to trapping. The last leaflet Starting a Boarding Cattery - What You Need to Know answers some of the common questions asked by people considering this option.
