COMMUNITY CATS/FERAL CATS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE
REGISTERED WITH ANIMAL CONTROL.
Tips and Tricks for
caretakers
DID YOU KNOW?
·
Community cats,
also called feral cats, are unowned cats who live outdoors. Like indoor cats,
they belong to the domestic cat species (felis catus). However, community cats
are generally not socialized, or friendly, to people, and are therefore
unadoptable. They live full, healthy lives with their feline families, called
colonies, in their outdoor homes.
·
Cats living
outdoors is nothing new. It wasn’t until kitty litter was invented in the late
1940s that some cats began living strictly indoors. But community cats truly
thrive in their outdoor homes. The tips in this brochure will help you coexist
with community cats.
·
The gestation
period for cats is usually 63-65 days, and that kittens can get pregnant as
early as 4 months of age. The average litter size for cats is 4 kittens per
litter.

we should sterilize our pets

Services for guidance. Do not attempt to pickup an injured animal, you could be
bitten by the animal.
HAVING ISSUES
Cats get in your trash.
Reason: Cats are looking
for food.
Feeding stations provide
cats with a designated area to eat.
3 Quick Tips to Keep Cats Out of Your Garbage:
1. Secure your trash can
with a tight lid or bungee cords. This will protect your trash from wildlife as
well.
2. Find out if neighbors
are feeding the cats. If they are, make sure they are following best practices.
Learn more at https://www.alleycat.org/resources/best-practices-community-cat-colony-care/
3. Consider feeding the
cats yourself if you find no regular caregiver. Feeding cats using best
practices will help ensure they don’t get hungry enough to get into trash.
Cats dig in your garden.
Reason: It is a cat’s
natural instinct to dig in soft or loose soil, moss, mulch, or sand
6 Quick Tips to Help Keep Cats From Digging
1. Put out fragrances that
keep cats away. Scatter fresh orange or lemon peels. Metal pans filled with
vinegar also deter cats.
2. Make an outdoor litter
box away from your garden by tilling the soil or placing sand in an
out-of-the-way spot in your yard. Clean the area frequently.
3. Use plastic carpet
runners, spike-side up, covered lightly in soil. They can be found at hardware
or office supply stores. You can also set chicken wire firmly into the dirt
(roll sharp edges under), arrange branches or sticks in a lattice pattern, or
put wooden or plastic fencing over soil.
4. Get the Cat Scat Mat, a
non-chemical cat deterrent consisting of plastic mats that are cut into smaller
pieces and pressed into the soil (pictured). Each mat has flexible plastic
spikes that are harmless to cats and other animals but discourage digging.
5. Get motion-activated
sprinklers.
6. Cover exposed ground in
flower beds with large river rocks to prevent cats from digging. Rocks have the
added benefit of deterring weeds.
Cats lounge in your yard or porch, or on your car.
Reason: Cats tend to remain
close to their food source.
4 Quick Tips:
1. Shift the cats’ food
source to a less central location, where you won’t mind if they hang out.
2. Apply fragrances that
deter cats around the edges of your yard, the tops of fences, and on any
favorite digging areas or plants. See “Cats are digging in your garden” for a
list of cat-deterring fragrances.
3. Install an ultrasonic
deterrent or a motion-activated sprinkler. You can find humane deterrent
products at garden supply stores.
4. Use a car cover or place
carpet runners on top of your car to avoid paw prints.
Cats sleep under your
porch or in your shed.
Reason: The cats are
looking for a dry, warm shelter away from the elements.
2 Quick Tips:
1. Provide covered shelter.
Or, if the cats have a caregiver, ask the caregiver to provide covered shelter.
Shelters should be placed in quiet areas away from traffic.
2. Block or seal the area
where the cats enter with chicken wire or lattice, but only once you are
absolutely certain no cats or kittens are inside.
Feeding cats attracts
insects and wildlife.
Reason: Leaving food out
for too long can attract other animals.
2 Quick Tips:
1. Feed the cats at the
same time and location each day. They should be given only enough food to
finish in one sitting. If another person is caring for the cats, ask them to
follow these guidelines. For more colony care guidelines, visit https://www.alleycat.org/community-cat-care-category/cat-care/colony-care/
2. Keep the feeding area
neat and free of leftover food and trash.
Cats are yowling,
fighting, spraying, roaming, and having kittens.
Reason: These are mating
behaviors. Once the cats are spayed or neutered, these behaviors will stop.
2 Quick Tips:
1. Conduct TNR for the
cats. TNR stops mating behaviors and ensures no new kittens are born.
2. Find more information
about TNR at alleycat.org/TNR. Get help from local community cat experts by
visiting the Alley Cat Allies Community Resource Tool.
Please remember: Do not
take community cats to animal shelters. As community cats are generally not
socialized to people and unadoptable, there is a high likelihood they will be
killed. Instead, community cats should be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear
tipped, and returned to their outdoor homes through a TNR program.
5 Easy Steps for Humanely Deterring Cats
1. Talk to your neighbors.
Determine whether the cats are pets, stray, or feral, and if they have been
spayed or neutered. If not, make an appointment with a feral-friendly
veterinarian and find tips for TNR at alleycat.org/TNR. Or contact Saginaw
Animal Services at 817-230-0460
2. Apply nontoxic
deterrents around your yard.
3. Put a tight lid on your
trash can.
4. Block gaps in the
foundation of sheds and porches.
5. Use a cover to keep paw
prints off your car.

Living with Wildlife
Understanding Urban Wildlife
The City of Saginaw has a
variety of native wildlife that can be enjoyed from our backyards, parks, trails,
and natural areas. It is up to all of us to protect native wildlife and their
habitats. Please do not feed, touch, or attempt to catch any wildlife you find.
We are visitors in their home and should view them at a safe distance.
Sometimes living with urban
wildlife can get complicated. Coyotes cross a road, raccoons den under porches,
and crows raid trash bins. How do we learn to coexist with wildlife in our
city? Animal Services provides many helpful resources for Saginaw residents
which highlight preventative measures to reduce unwanted wildlife interactions.
The City of Saginaw Animal
Services does respond to service requests that may pose a threat to public
safety, but does NOT trap apparently healthy wildlife that does not pose a
threat. Animal Services also work to educate the public and provide wildlife
resources to keep the public safe and preserve the wildlife and their habitats.
If you are concerned about
a potentially dangerous animal or find injured wildlife, please immediately
contact Saginaw Animal Services at (817) 230-0460.









Migratory Birds





Nuisance Nesting
Each year Saginaw has faced
a special challenge in managing the effects of egrets and herons nesting in our
community's residential areas. Initially only a few birds are noticed, but
suddenly hundreds of birds moved in and began building nests for the nesting
season. These birds arrive during the early spring (March and April).
Although this natural cycle
can be beautiful, the challenges associated can be overwhelming. These concerns
relate to noise, odor and significant amounts of excrement that covers streets,
sidewalks, cars, mailboxes and other public and private property.
City staff is unable to
address any of these issues while the birds are nesting due to their
"protected" status provided by the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act. The City needs the help of its residents to address this
challenge proactively. We encourage you to take the steps below to protect your
trees and to remain vigilant in observing bird activity in your neighborhood:
·
Thin tree
canopy to allow sunlight to shine between limbs and other trees
·
Remove old
nesting material
·
Use reflective
tape, scare-eye balloons or other visual deterrents to make your trees less
attractive to migratory birds in search of viable nesting sites
·
If you notice
egrets or herons in your trees, use water hose or signal horns to scare birds
from the trees
·
Beginning in February/March
report ALL egret and heron activity to Animal Services at 817-230-0460 or by
clicking here.
Before Nesting Season
Begins (Typically January to Early March)
·
Be on the
lookout for "sentry" birds - the first birds to arrive looking for
ideal nesting sites for the flock. Report sightings to your neighbors and to
The City of Saginaw Animal Services!
·
Familiarize
yourself with the different migratory birds found in Texas. Each species has a
different breeding period.
What can you do once
birds have arrived? (Early March)
·
Use a
combination of scaring devices before migratory birds lay eggs such as hanging,
“scare
eye” or helium balloons, wind chimes, CD’s or other moving
objects in trees.
·
Disturb early nesting material with long
poles, tennis balls or water spray
·
As soon as you
see birds on or near your property, begin using scare tactics.
·
Use noisemakers,
water spray or shine lights at night.
·
Please take
care while using scare tactics. Do not kill or injure the birds.
·
DO NOT harm
birds or eggs. These birds are protected by
international treaty.
During Nesting Season
(Typically March to October)
·
Once birds
begin sitting on nests, eggs are probably present. Do not kill, harass,
relocate, move, or attempt to scare away the birds by any means during nesting
season. These birds are federally
protected.
·
Contact The
City of Saginaw Animal Services and notify the location of the nest.
If a Rookery (Group
Nesting Site) Is Established
·
Continue normal
maintenance of your property (mowing, weed-eating, edging, watering, etc.)
·
Contact The
City of Saginaw Animal Services at 817-230-0460 to report fallen eggs, injured,
or dead birds. Animal Services will pick them up.
·
DO NOT attempt
to handle birds, and DO NOT do anything to intentionally disturb the birds or
their nests!
After Nesting Season Has
Ended (Typically October to January)
·
Remove old
nests from trees.
·
Trim your trees. Remove deadwood, and thin
tree canopy to allow sunlight between limbs and other trees.
·
Be a good neighbor and help those who may have
special needs and/or team up with your neighbors when hiring a tree trimming
service and ask for discount rates for group service.
·
Be watchful and
report these bird arrivals anywhere in your neighborhood in late winter/early
spring to the City of Saginaw Animal Services. They may not be your problem at
the time, but that can change quickly!

Volunteer Program
We could not function or
survive without the hundreds of hours of work from our cherished volunteers.
Volunteers have an enormous impact on the health and well-being of our pets.
The investment is minimal but the return is immeasurable!
Volunteers Help With:
·
Daily Shelter Activities - The center sees thousands of animals each year. Often these pets
need socialization, bathing or just a kind word to warm their hearts. With
limited staff and new pets being brought in daily, the need for people to walk
dogs, clean cages and even to help with adoptions is ever increasing.
·
Special Events -
Offsite adoptions and other special events are almost always staffed by
volunteers. There is nothing like knowing that you made the difference for that
one pet!
Volunteer Opportunities
We are always looking for
help in finding the animals in our care a good adoptive home. Volunteers are an
essential part of the daily activities in our shelter to assist with
socializing, walking, cleaning, and playing with the animals. Volunteers ages
17 or older can volunteer, however, volunteers ages 10-16 must have a
parent/guardian present.
To start the process please fill out the application below.
