The average rating for Stray Cat Handbook based on 2 reviews is 3.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-05 00:00:00 Rick Elton A good intro to working with stray as well as feral cats. The book gives a lot of information to the person who finds themselves taking care of a stray cat including common health problems, how to house the stray as well as how to adopt the cat out. The author also discusses the difference between a stray and feral cat and briefly explains the TNR program. I would have liked a bit more information on feral cats, as that is the population I work with, but overall a good, informative read for all who are interested in helping homeless and outdoor cats.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-02-06 00:00:00 Rachael Ward A scraggly-looking cat ducks into your carport. If you care about animals, you hate seeing him hungry, exposed, and suffering. What to do next? The Stray Cat handbook starts out well, with discussion of the differences between stray and abandoned cats and those who are truly feral. The author instructs readers on how to humanely capture strays and how to socialize and rehome them. She emphasizes the need to have strays altered--by far, the best thing one can do for stray and feral cats is to prevent them from creating new generations of stray and feral cats. Unfortunately, the second half of the book is mainly padding; health, nutrition, and care info that can be easily found in any cat care book.
