Stray cats in Bangladesh face daily cruelty, neglect, and abandonment, contrasting society’s obsession with foreign breeds. Despite few efforts to protect them, ignorance and apathy prevail. Compassionate action and mindset change are urgently needed.

In bustling Dhaka, people of all ages are reconnecting with nature—petting strays, planting trees, and finding peace in greenery—proving that even small acts of care can help build a greener, more livable city.

Winter is brutal for stray animals, but small acts can save lives. Build simple shelters, offer warm meals, and leave water for birds. Encourage community efforts to create a compassionate, supportive environment for vulnerable creatures.

In the urban spaces across Bangladesh, we need to adopt a model of human-non-human relations that is both practical and moral.
