Stray dogs

there are stray dogs and cats on the islands. i actually do not know of a community anywhere that does not have stray cats and dogs.

It depends........I was feeding 2 strays that adopted me for over 3 yrs but one was killed by a dog that was half starved by his owner and that HSSTT gave back to the owner which he did not deserve. I know he killed my 1 boy, Simba, but he was always on a chain until he managed to escape, he was all ribs and bones, he smelled to high heaven and sure he had worms, etc., tho he was docile/sweet/hungry with me and rode nicely in the truck when I took him in to relinquished him to HSSTT. I had hoped they would do better by him. I still have the original stray girl, Sasha, and feed whatever comes to the doorstep. Sasha is a completely outdoor kitty as she does not wish to be involved with all my dogs who have the run of inside, the decks and a fenced in area. She rules the front yard and areas the dogs are not allowed.

Simba was a lovely male cat. I still miss him and hate to contemplate his death but both of them had been abandoned as they were tame, friendly and Sasha had already been spayed when she decided this was the right place for her. Simba was even friendlier and he showed up about a month after Sasha. Thanks to Lucky Paws, I was able to afford to neuter him. Right now, since I feed Sasha outside, there are
2 other takers but wild so they do not allow me to approach. Yet. They come and go, but if on my doorstep, they'll have food and water.

Outside cats can have a vast range so one never knows exactly what they are up to and where they go.

Here's an interesting link OT sent me a few days ago:

Thanks Alana,
So far it sounds much safer for 14 yr. old Squeak Toy than PR would be, where ownerless hoards hunt everything smaller than they are. Do you have any idea how old Sasha is?

When I took her to my vet to be spayed, (Dr. Williamson/STT) he thought she was around 5yrs. old at the time. She looked younger to me but she is a small cat. We discovered she had already been spayed so she got a belly shave out of the deal. She is probably 8 going on 9 by this time and has been the outside kitty since I started to feed her yrs. ago. Good luck to you and your "Squeak Toy."
