In my neighborhood, I can see so many stray cats. I felt unfair to them because the local authorities are only concern more with stray dogs being in animal shelters. If I am a vet, I will spay these female cats. So that they will not generate their own kinds in the neighborhood.
I have the weirdest thinking right now. What if I catch them all, then I will sell them for cat lovers.
What do you think, guys?
Do you have cat shelters at your place?

Cats and dogs in same shelter here all get put down after 30 days if no one adopts them. I wonder how they do cats, I know dogs do not last long if they stray. They get quicker every time a couple of hours, is the most a a stray dog lasts on street here before they get picked up. Cats, not sure because they people's pets, but maybe people call them in.

I hope that the locals can just invite to their homes and treat them as their own. I do agree that stray dogs cannot last lurking around the streets. Most people prefer to adopt dogs than cats. In the past, some locals love eating dog meat. 
When the animals' rights were introduced here, no one can do this anymore. As far as I know, South Korea still eating this kind of meat.
It cannot be denied since it is a fact.

I heard some organizations cater to stray cats here and even in other places. However, they are not that active even before the pandemic. I hope I can able to talk to these people who are in charge and suggest to spay or neuter the whiskers before the adoption of the new owners.

@Shavkat They do all the time here. Those are too wild to be adopted, are spayed/neutered and released when they are fine. We do not have stray cats here, because cats cannot have kittens. Owners who wants to have kittens must apply and sign a form where they declare that they will take care of the kittens and not let them out of the house.

Sometimes they post through social media that they can be adopted.

@Shavkat It also depends if people are interested in getting a pet from a shelter. And if the feral cats are dangerous or not.

@marguicha I agree. Dogs from the shelter here, the people-in-charge need some requirements before they can have them.

On paper, yes... reality not so much. Quite often, there's more animals than there is space. But, those who manage to land in a shelter are well cared for and the place is kept clean. @Shavkat

We have a shelter that takes in cats, dogs and many other small pets. Then the next town over has one that handles livestock. They mostly get those when someone is in trouble for abusing the animals.

Our police department operates a dog and cat shelter. Where I live, there are some stray cats. My black cat was a stray.
