MOUNT RAINIER, Md., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The government-funded Polish Academy of Sciences has classified domestic cats (Felis catus) as an "invasive alien species." This designation is given to species that are not native to a region's ecosystem, and cause damage to that ecosystem.

They say that the number of birds and other small native animals cats kill per year qualifies them to be on the listed this way in their national database.

Key Points: 
  • Alley Cat Rescue says large scale effects of cat predation on natural wildlife is sensationalized to deflect from manmade environmental destruction and advocates for decreasing cat populations humanely through trap-neuter-return.
