Stray animals are pets that have been abandoned or lost, living without a home. They often roam neighborhoods, parks, and streets in search of food and shelter. Common stray animals include dogs and cats, but other species like rabbits and birds can also be found. Stray animals may face dangers such as traffic, harsh weather, and lack of medical care. Many communities have programs to help manage stray populations, including animal shelters and rescue organizations. These groups work to provide food, medical treatment, and adoption services. Spaying and neutering programs are also important to prevent overpopulation and reduce the number of strays.
