The Case for Indoor Cats

“UNTAMED” - a co-production of VPM and the Wildlife Center of Virginia - introduces viewers to the natural and man-made challenges facing wildlife today and, most importantly, what we can do to make a difference.

The Case for Indoor Cats

Untamed Season 2 Episode 9 | 26m 46s | CC

This episode focuses on the reasons why keeping cats – a domestic pet – indoors is better for wildlife, the cats themselves, and human health. Outdoor cats cause significant problems for wildlife and the environment. These cats also have shorter lifespans and are subjected to many more dangers than their indoor counterparts. Learn how we can fix this issue and keep wildlife and cats safer.
