Re: Pet shops
Well, then you go trap and neuter them. as simple as that. The way cats and animals are treated is dismal....the way a person treats an animal shows exactly what kind of a person he/she is. IMHO.

Re: Pet shops
Then they are probably toms that need neutering. Only toms spray and it is horrible. You might want to ask one the cat organisations (Feline Friends or Bin Kitty Collective) if they can help with TNR (trap neuter release) in your area. Result will be no more spraying on your furniture and fewer stray/feral kittens.

Re: Pet shops
Trap and release will solve your issue. By releasing them back into the same area you will prevent non neutered ones coming in and starting the whole pissing on furniture thing anew

Re: Pet shops
The Dubai Municipality will remove unwanted cats so, if you do adopt a stray or whatever, make sure it's wearing a collar preferably with a DM disk when they come calling. God knows what they do to them.

Re: Pet shops
Why are there so many feral cats? Because people get a cute little kitten that grows miraculously into a fully grown cat , they get bored of it and ****ING DUMP it. That's why.
Those poor cats can't help it...neither can all the dogs.
The animals are not the problem, PEOPLE are.

Re: Pet shops
Who is buying a stray cat for 1000 AED? That sounds mental.
Around me is infested with feral cats, a veritable goldmine at those prices. However I'd imagine most of them would literally claw the faces off any prospective owners. I will have to include a cage for an extra fee and new cat ownership tips such as not releasing the animal until he is inside his new home

Re: Pet shops
Yeah, has been awful, and I agree pet shops should be shut down, but we know that isn't going happen here, they are making someone money

Re: Pet shops
Just a little story...a friend of mine lives on a compound here. She finds pretty much every week dead cats. They have been tortured, buried alive,burned...you name it. She has witnessed this happening with her own eyes. This is nothing out of the ordinary.
So.....culling...hmmm?
