Where can I give my cat for free in Moscow?

Cats live in 46% of Russian families. They look nice, they are undemanding, with a variety of food and care products, keeping a cat in a city apartment and the owners' employment does not present any difficulties. Getting a "mustached, striped cat", the owners, of course, expect that the animal will live with them "happily ever after", but sometimes they have to give it away. There are several reasons:

The Wet Nose Center takes in dozens of homeless animals each month. One of its benefits is an equipped veterinary office and doctors who can take in an animal at any time.

Charity funds are used to pay for the services of specialists and the purchase of medical consumables.

Kindness Together Foundation

Helping homeless animals with food and medicine

The Targeted Assistance for Animals program unites those who have the time and desire to help with those who choose financial support. Volunteers create a pet profile and post it on the "Doing Good Together" platform, and donors support specific pets. The development of such a "social network" attracts more participants, and the funds raised go toward food, medicine, and vet fees.

Employees of the free information line "Cats in the City" advise Muscovites daily on how to help street animals. Operators will help find pets a home, engage volunteers and recommend a veterinary clinic, as well as support with advice for those who decide to help an animal on their own.

Options for taking in pets

If you have no other option but to get rid of your pet, consider a few foster options to help you find your cat new loving owners.

About "releasing to the wild."

For some reason, many people think that a pet will be able to adapt in an outdoor environment, they say, "it's a cat, it'll catch a mouse, it'll find food." That's not true: humans have weaned animals off food, provided comfort, and compromised their immunity with vaccinations. Even for an outdoor cat living in a private house, being thrown out is a huge stress, which leads to a surge of diseases, but an apartment pet is doomed to a slow and painful death.

The Moscow's Administrative Breaches Code says the irresponsible owners will be fined from 1 to 2 thousand rubles. However, in the future it is planned to toughen this punishment by equating the "abandonment" to the abuse of animals, which provides up to one year imprisonment. For now, pets are not legally protected.

Sometimes owners of unwanted animals choose the alternative – to let the cat go near the construction site, canteen, farm or other farm, hoping that the animal will find shelter and food there, and thus soothe their conscience. But, first, such action is tantamount to throwing on the street, and secondly, near such places and so many stray animals, which quickly get rid of a domestic "gentleman.

Looking for new owners

At first you can try to take the cat to acquaintances. Talk to relatives, colleagues and friends, in case there is someone who wants to get a pet.

I have a cat sitting in a holding facility – a black panther. There are calls – but what if she pulls up furniture … and then the child will torture her …. damn well buy a plush toy – the furniture does not pull up, the child does not torture. They all don't need a live toy. They're also offended that we don't give it to them.

Correctly build communication with the future owners

It takes some time (usually a week) for the potential owners to contact you to get the pet. Be careful and careful – it is your choice that determines the future life and fate of your four-legged friend. Questions to find out:

Why get a cat? Many people do not think about the fact that animals are not toys for young children, animals also feel pain, get angry, can stand up for themselves and do not fail to bite or scratch offenders. Such behavior in adult cats is also exacerbated by the stress of a change of habitual habitat, and we must be prepared for this.

It is important for their future owners to understand that cats are not toys for their children.

If a cat has lived in a house for most of its life, moving it to an apartment can lead to depression.

Do not be afraid to be curious, the more you learn about the future owners, the calmer you will be. It is a good idea to arrange for periodic contact with the owners to check on the pet's settling in.

Finding new owners for your pet is a slow process. If possible, start early. Place ads on themed sites and social networking pages, in groups and communities, ask your friends and acquaintances. Take pictures of the animal, add an interesting text. Be sure to agree to monitor the fate of your furry friend.

"Kotospas": freeing pets from bricked-up cellars

Another of the foundation's projects is "Kotospas". Its purpose is to free the cats from the basements of buildings with littered vents. The basement is the main habitat of cats in winter, and without such a shelter, they can die.

"The project has been in existence since 2014 and both provides advice on the legislation on airlocks and works to propose legislative initiatives in this area. In particular, with the participation of the Foundation, an amendment was prepared to the rules for the maintenance of common property in apartment buildings, according to which one vent must be open," says Anna Feldman, curator of the "Cat Rescue" area.

To inform the project volunteers about a pet bricked up in the basement and get instructions on how to proceed, you may call by phone: +7 499 112-07-49. The number of calls to "Kotospas" is constantly growing: in 2019 there were 324 reports, in 2020 – 381, and in 2021 – already 456. In one out of every four cases, people opened the holes on their own. In 75 percent of cases, the management company had to be contacted to save the animals.
