Did You Know?

Cats are incredible hunters, but when we let them roam outdoors, they can cause serious harm to local wildlife. Research shows that outdoor cats kill an estimated 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion small mammals in the U.S. alone each year! 😱 This isn't just a statistic—it’s a real threat to biodiversity.

Here are a few species that are particularly at risk:

Eastern Meadowlark: A beautiful songbird that's rapidly declining in numbers.

Piping Plover: A small shorebird now listed as threatened due to habitat loss and predation.

New England Cottontail: A rabbit species struggling to survive amidst shrinking habitats and increased predation.

Island Foxes: Some populations have faced near extinction, partly due to predation by feral cats.

Hellbenders: These giant salamanders are already rare, and their populations are being further impacted by invasive species, including cats.
