Those of us who make our home in Silicon Valley have been criticized in the past for not giving back to the community. That is changing overall, and Steve Wozniak has now joined in to help the cause of homeless cats. This three minute video gives a good overview of the problem and ways we can help.
It's interesting that one key argument against the Healthy Pets Act earlier this year was that euthanasia numbers continue to go down for unwanted pets. This video talks about the growing feral cat population (125,000 in Santa Clara County alone) and the non-stop work that many dedicated volunteers do to help control the numbers without having to resort to euthanasia. It's a constant battle regardless - even with their efforts, 30,000 of these cats are put down each year, in this county alone.
More information on this campaign is available via the Humane Society of Silicon Valley and Cats Without a Home.
