The veterans in a downtown Houston housing complex have formed an unlikely bond with the nearly 40 feral cats that have taken up residence in the complex.
A volunteer with Citizens for Animal Protection releases recently treated feral cats back to a veteran's housing complex on April 23, 2022.
Through the feral cat program, volunteers humanely trap cats that are wild and unadoptable. The cats are sedated and spayed or neutered and given vaccinations. The cats’ ears are then clipped at the end, signifying that the cat has been altered and treated. After treatment, the cats are released back into the wild.
The veterans can’t afford to buy cat food, Paskauskaite said, so they share their meals with the cats. When the veterans first learned that the cats would be trapped and treated, they resisted the volunteers, Burrascano said. “These cats are really loved by these veterans, and once they understood we weren’t going to harm the cats, they were completely on board,” Paskauskaite said. “There was so much gratitude.”
