Why do we insist on window nets?
為什麼我們堅持要有窗網？
“Falls-from-height” are a common cause of injuries and deaths to Hong Kong’s cat population. Even if your cat goes through a window and doesn’t fall, you’re in for an exciting and stressful time (and possibly a visit from SPCA and some firemen) trying to get the cat back inside again, safely.
Even if you’re not on a high floor, there are other daily dangers to cats: traffic, dogs, snakes, other cats, people…. so window nets are still needed even if you’re living on a low floor (e.g. village house).
At Paws United, we aim to ensure our cats to go to homes where they will be safe, and we know you want your adopted cats to be safe as well, so this guide sets out our expectations concerning window nets.
Window nets must be fitted before an adoption is approved.
高空墮下是香港貓隻受傷和死亡的常見原因。即使你的貓貓能夠遊走窗邊而不會掉落，依然不能免除你將來為了將貓貓安全帶回屋內，可能面對的過度刺激和壓力（以及需要愛護動物協會及消防員協助的可能性）。
就算你住於低層，外面的世界同樣充滿危機：車輛、狗隻、蛇、其他貓隻、人類等等，可見住於低層如村屋，窗網仍然係必需品。
在PUC，我們的目標是確保貓貓能夠去到安全的新家庭，相信你同樣希望提供給領養的貓貓一個安全的環境，我們準備了以下指引，方便說明我們對窗網的一些基本要求。
批准領養的前提是窗網已經裝好。
