Street Cats in Malta

Pet/Website Articles - FRONT_PAGE_PICTURE_STORIES

Around Malta there are many people who feed stray cats, paying for the food from their own money, sometimes at great personal sacrifice. There are also some good souls who take it upon themselves to not only feed these cats but to also neuter them. The Society is doing its best to help out with the neutering but finances are low.

 

 Many public gardens in Malta used to have many stray cats roaming about. Since a consortium took over these gardens many cats have simply "disappeared". The Maltese public was made aware of these happenings through reports in the local media…… but not much came out as a result. Examples of the gardens where the cats disappeared are those of San Anton and the Upper Barrakka.

 

There were also reports that all the cats in a Public garden in Santa Venera were poisoned. The persons who used to feed these cats did not find any overnight.

Most local councils believe that cats are there to litter the streets and many councilors have been known to try to stop volunteers from feeding the cats. Many of these volunteers clean the feeding area every day after the cats have been fed.
