Soca

Soca is a charming male kitten, about 6 months old with black and white fur and hazel eyes. We miss him dearly and want to see him again! You will recognize Soca by his black “belly button” on his white tummy. He was lost in the area of Upper Lachine and Belgrave in N.D.G.

Stray cat on Park Avenue

cat found on Park Avenue

Dusty, friendly house cat spotted on Park avenue tonight, August 13th, close to Fairmount below St. Viateur. Because he or she was headed towards traffic, and no one could take him, he was taken through to the alley of Jeanne Mance and Park, where it’s more quiet, but not too far from his territory. Gray and white, medium-haired, with a few knots on his belly. It’s rare to see a cat on Park so he seemed lost or abandoned. I’m hoping he’s being looked for.

Public information meeting about responsible pet ownership and feral cats in Côte Saint-Luc

The City of Côte Saint-Luc will host a public information meeting on Wednesday, August 18 at 7:30pm at City Hall (5801 Cavendish Blvd.) about what residents can do to help control the city’s cat population.

Alanna Devine, the director of animal welfare at the CSPCA, and Dr. Marlene Kalin, the director of the Côte Saint-Luc Animal Hospital will speak at the meeting and answer questions from the audience.

“I am calling upon anyone who is a cat owner or has a love for animals to attend this meeting, which is the first of its kind ever held in Côte Saint-Luc,” said Councillor Mike Cohen, who will be chairing the meeting. “We are fortunate to have the likes of Alanna Devine and Dr. Marlene Kalin giving of their valuable time. Not only will their presentations be very interesting, I also hope they will inspire people to get involved with this issue.”

The speakers will discuss the Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR) program, cat overpopulation, and responsible pet ownership. The TNR program humanely traps, sterilizes, then releases feral cats back into their original territory. Experts say that removing feral cats doesn’t work because new cats simply move into the area. If the cat is adoptable, efforts are made to place it with a family. A cat can reproduce four times a year, beginning from six months old, and can give birth to from one to eight kittens each time. Two unaltered cats can, over a period of seven years, create more than 400,000 kittens. By sterilizing the cats, their numbers are brought down through attrition.

TNR programs have been proven worldwide, throughout Europe, the United States, parts of Canada, as the most humane and cost-efficient way of controlling and decreasing the numbers of homeless cats.

Côte Saint-Luc Mayor Anthony Housefather gave Councillor Cohen a mandate to organize such a meeting and return to council with recommendations regarding the TNR program.

“As a cat owner myself I can attest to what amazing and loving animals they are,” Councillor Cohen said. “I know there are a lot of people out there whose lives can be given a real life by bringing a feline into their homes. The Côte Saint-Luc Animal Hospital, for instance, has taken in many feral cats over the years and eventually found homes for them.”

Ganja

Ganja

My cat left the house a week and a half ago now, on Queen Mary in Côte-de-Neiges. It’s a black female adult with very green eyes and a few white hairs on her throat. Her head is quite round. She also has patches on her skin around her ears that are more brown. She doesn’t have a collar or tattoo, or microchip (she was a stray we took in last September).
