William Mckinney+FollowBaltimore pets need homes this holidayHoliday pet adoptions at Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) are not just welcomed—they’re encouraged! Despite what you might’ve heard, BARCS says there’s no post-holiday surge in returned pets. In fact, January is one of their slowest months for animal intake. The team works hard to match each pet’s personality with the right family, making sure these furry friends find lasting homes. If you’re not ready to adopt, lending a hand as a volunteer or donating supplies can make a big difference for local animals during this busy season.

Tiffani chavez+FollowNew Zealand has officially added feral cats to its "Predator Free 2050" mission to save native wildlife. This decision follows severe damage to the ecosystem, including the killing of over 100 endangered bats in just one week. To protect species like the southern dotterel, the government will use toxin-laced baits and traps. While some raise ethical concerns, over 90% of the public supports the plan. Officials emphasize that this strictly targets wild, feral cats—not pets—and continue to encourage responsible ownership like microchipping and keeping domestic cats indoors. #news #cats #newzealand #petadoption #FeralCat #StrayCats #NewsBreaks #NewZealand132Share
