Keep Your Cat Safe

Help keep your cat safe and part of the family for as long as possible. 

It's a fact that an inside cat lives a longer, healthier life than those that wander outdoors. An indoor cat never faces the many dangers waiting outside such as cars, attacks by other animals, exposure to diseases, parasites and poisons. Cats kept inside require less veterinarian care for problems more often associated with roaming cats such as fleas, ticks, worms and diarrhea.

The City of St. Albert recommends that domestic felines be kept indoors or allowed outdoors only when in an enclosed area or on a leash/tie-out with appropriate supervision.

Cat owners are encouraged to only bring their cats outdoors in an enclosed area or with the use of a leash or tie to help keep them safe and at home. Owners can be part of the solution by spaying or neutering, licensing, microchipping, and providing an ID for their cats.

Wondering how to do that? Here are some images of suggested solutions: 

Cats raised indoors are perfectly content with their world. Cats that have experienced the outdoors will need some time to adjust to indoor status but will eventually be perfectly content in the comforts of a home.
