Cats Indoors!
Shocking numbers of birds are killed every year by feral and free-roaming cats in the United States and worldwide. Houston Audubon supports the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's position as noted in its June 2014 Issues Briefing and we endorse the efforts of Audubon leadership at the national level to work with scientific, conservation, and animal welfare communities to address this problem.
Houston Audubon is also a member of the American Bird Conservancy and supports its CATS INDOORS! program. See the following websites to learn more, and please keep your cats indoors -- for their sake as well as for the birds.
