How to Help

Talk to your vet, even if you don't have a cat. Ask if they can help with a Megestrol Acetate (MA) prescription, for your local rescues and TNR groups that regularly bring them trapped cats to fix and vaccinate. Be nice about it and ask if they have ever heard about this stray cat birth control. Ask them to look at veterinary studies showing the high doses of this drug used in the past (causing side effects) and compare to the 0.5 mg/cat/week that is actually required for contraception. Refer them to this website, for a good start.

Share this information with the volunteer cat rescues in your area, as well as with the bigger shelters, Humane Societies, ASPCA, etc.

Local and state governments should be happy to encourage the use of Megestrol Acetate (MA), as they hate the complaints and costs of strays, and any concern about rabies transmission.

Bird watching groups should be very supportive of a serious effort to stem the tide of stray cats, as they are concerned that so many cats are destroying their favorite birds.

Volunteer with a local rescue or shelter - donate money, trap cats, transport them to clinics, foster them in your home, clean litter boxes at a shelter - there are many ways to help.

Tell everyone you know that there is an ongoing crisis for stray cats - that domesticated animals are being treated like they belong out on their own and are left to meet an often disastrous fate.

Join forces with rescues who care and be part of the solution!!

Megestrol Acetate is the obvious answer -
