How to stop post-retirement depression

Malvina Major Retirement Village

Retirement is often viewed as a time of relaxation, travel, and personal freedom. While some people look forward to no longer working, for others, it can be a time of emotional upheaval and uncertainty. You may experience feelings of sadness and loss of purpose rather than excitement and happiness.… View moreRetirement is often viewed as a time of relaxation, travel, and personal freedom.

Stray Cats in your property and Community

Hello everyone and to whom this maybe an issue as well.
Please note that we had or would see a few cats around our place now and then . As time went by we started see few different ones and now we see 2 adult,2 semi-adult and 2 kittens. So the litter is growing.

Our concern now is that they seems to be living around some bushes and have now started to try and catch the birds to eat, started digging our gardens and worst of all getting our pet dog annoyed by been seen outside our property house and yard.

So what to do with these unwanted cats which has come from nowhere or no one is looking for them.

So I pick up the phone and call the Wellington City Council and explain the situation that it is not our cats and we want it gone or taken away from our property and neighbourhood since does not belong to anyone.

The WCC person told me that they can do and help with dog related matters but they do not deal with or want to know anything regarding Cats. They said maybe I Should call the SPCA or the Wellington Regional Council.

I then write to SPCA and then someone calls me from SPCA. I explain my situation to her and this is what I was told.
SPCA is for the care and welfare for animals and as such they can help with providing traps to catch the cats and take away to check them and if required desex them but they require a signature from me to say that once the cats are checked up, they will bring back the cats and release it back in our yard. These cats then become as Community Cats. I did explain that I do not need these cats or care for them.
They said do not feed them and they will move away from our place but I explained that the cats will then go into the neighbourhood and will be nuisance to someone else which I do not want.

So the other option talking to Regional Council is left to be done which I will try to do tomorrow.

I am posting this out to you all so you know that if nothing is been done by authorities help control on Stray cats rather than leaving them to survive and breed freely in the community and then force people to start looking after these cats since you can not get them taken away, will become a bigger problem.

I think something should be done now to control these stray cats in our community.

I will post further as I have more information relevant to this subject.

If you have some similar experience or advice you want to share then that will be good to post here as well.

Take care and be safe.
Thank you for listening.
