Cat Abandonment

Abandonment: There are more homeless cats than dogs, but the proportion is lower because it is often the cats themselves who choose freedom. The problem of true abandonment arises when, for example, an aged owner dies and his or her family discards the cat, but it is often the saddened pet than runs away.

Nonuse of a litter box is one of the main reasons for cat abandonment and abuse. Here are some steps to take when litter box problems occur.
