A herd of more than a hundred cats will be expensive for the association that saved the cats from the wild – the bill can reach many thousands of euros

More than 80 individuals were caught from Ylöjärvi’s cat population in August, but several dozen cats remained in the wild.

What to do with abused, semi-feral cats? What does it cost?

The volunteers of the Cat Corner association had to think about the issue in Pirkanmaa after a herd of more than a hundred semi-feral cats was found in the countryside of Ylöjärvi at the end of August.

More than 80 cats were lured from the herd at one time. Dozens of cats were still left wandering in nature, and they are going to be lured today, Friday. Such a large herd has never come to Kissankulma (http://www.kissankulma.com/) at one time before.

Rescuing the cats and then food, chipping, vaccinations, sterilization and other care is a multi-thousand-euro expense item for the Kissankulma association.
