Stray Cats

Tel-Aviv has a ton of stray cats, as does Jerusalem. Cats are not native to the area, they were brought in by the British to fix a rat problem.

It turns out Tel-Aviv has a program for neutering these strays. People can bring in a cat from the streets to get it spayed, I believe for free. After, they mark the cat’s ear to distinguish it from the rest.
