1、How to identify if it is a stray animal?

Usually we will see a cat or dog on the street it is not necessarily a stray animal. There are still many families in China that use free-range pet keeping, so we should not be impulsive and must carefully identify if it is a stray animal.

Basic physical characteristics of stray animals.

Meow: the perennial wind participant, it will be very thin, no cat collar around the neck, most of them are wary of people not easy to approach, some will have obvious injuries, such as leg lame or obvious abused wounds, then do not hesitate to save!

Woofers: again will be thin, dirty, and alert to people who will immediately rescue if there is an obvious wound.

If you see a bruised and battered puppy or kitten outside wagging its tail or trying to get to you, make sure you help them! That’s it asking you for help.

2. Should we rescue a stray cat?

Because there are some differences between stray cats and stray dogs. Cats can still adapt to survive in the wild without people hurting them, and the cat’s living environment changes dramatically or the capture process in which we perform the rescue can cause stress and liver and kidney problems can easily occur. Therefore, not all stray cats need to be rescued, so how do we identify whether a cat needs to be rescued?

For cats that are pregnant, or injured, or obviously sick (characteristics: very dirty fur, foreign objects stuck to the farts, ulcers in the mouth, skinny bones, wobbly walk, obvious lack of energy, etc. are all characteristics of illness), please find people to rescue them first, so as not to miss the best time to save their lives.

3、How to approach them?

Stray animals can be very difficult to approach when they are not in contact with humans for a long time, and they have an innate fear of people, so we have to find a way to approach it.

First of all, let it get familiar with your scent first, it will take us some time to approach it slowly, not too suddenly, which can easily scare it.

4、How to get a preliminary understanding of their physical condition?

Whether there are scars on the body, whether there is pain when stroking, touching them to see if they are too thin, too thin may be extreme malnutrition or a sign of illness.

5、What should I do next?

1) If you are sick or injured, you must be sent to the hospital in time for treatment

2) Vaccination and deworming

3) If you do not have the means to continue to raise the adoption information can be released

Elementary school students are very caring, but just as courageous, caring itself is a good thing, but the behavior of children to help stray animals need to have the right guidance.

To be able to treat every living being on the earth well is an improvement in the whole quality level of human beings, but from the perspective of proper rescue, it should be analyzed in a different way.

Emphasis, let the professionals do professional things, now many cities have animal protection centers, even if not, there will be other related departments such as forestry departments, the most reasonable way should be to contact these related departments to deal with.

Why do you say that?

There are too many species on earth, in the case of not understanding their habits, rashly approach is likely to be attacked, it does not matter how serious the results after being attacked, even once domesticated dogs and cats, after a period of wandering, will slowly become more vigilant, nervousness, if not to appreciate the kindness of the rescuer will produce aggressive behavior for self-preservation, then it was a good rescue behavior will turn into something else.

Furthermore, many stray dogs may have diseases on them, which requires the dog owner to immediately take it to a pet store for cleaning, as well as a full body examination. If there are diseases to be removed, after all, stray dogs may have skin diseases and so on, which are the result of long-term sanitation and uncleanliness. Then you have to spend part of the money, so you still need a little money, or you can’t even afford to keep the dog.

If you can’t afford to keep it yourself, you can call the police or go to a help station, which is available online, and tell them the exact address and ask them to come and take the dog. In the meantime, you’d better keep an eye on it so it doesn’t wander off to other places where the rescuers can’t find it.

So personally, I think the best way, if there is enough time, you can watch near the animals that need to be rescued and contact a professional in time to carry out the rescue work.
