A deadly outbreak of bird flu is spreading across the U.S., and stray cats are among its latest victims.
For a starving stray, every meal is a desperate gamble. But now, the scraps of food they manage to find could be their last.
The symptoms of bird flu are horrific.
What happens next is almost too painful to describe:
Stray cats’ bodies weaken, fever burning through them.
Their eyes swell and ooze until the world around them fades to darkness.
Uncontrollable tremors shake them violently, seizures wracking their tiny bodies.
They gasp for breath—until they can’t anymore.
Most cats don’t survive.
Cats are especially vulnerable to bird flu, and stray cats face constant exposure with no protection.
With nowhere to hide, no one to care for them, and no defense against this deadly virus, stray cats are suffering in silence, dying alone in alleyways and gutters.
600 Million Dogs' Plan of Action
We may not be able to prevent bird flu, but we can stop more innocent cats from being born into a life of suffering.
At 600 Million Dogs, we’re developing the Spay and Neuter Cookie — a revolutionary, one-time birth control solution to end the cycle of overpopulation and prevent future generations from facing this fate.
Every moment we wait, more cats suffer and die horrible deaths.
Will you help us stop this suffering?
