Statistics show that every winter, 60% of stray cats cannot survive the winter.

Can I take stray cats home?

You can bring stray cats home. But you should pay attention to several aspects: First, check to make sure the stray cat is free of disease, because stray cats may carry some viruses, such as ringworm, parasites and other infectious diseases. It is best to take it to a pet hospital for examination. Secondly, confirm whether the stray cat is willing to get close to you. If it is willing, you can lure it with food and take it home.
