Domestic cats (Felis catus) are listed among the 100 worst invasive species with the most impact on the environment and conservation, threatening a variety of native and even threatened animal species. Data indicate that they are responsible for the extinction of 33 species of birds. The objective of this work is to describe the predation of native and exotic species of fauna by a wildered domestic feline, specifically to bring data from the preyed species and data from the existing bibliographic of the predation by felines in the country. This is an observatory study, where the prey slaughtered and brought by the community cat were cataloged and listed over a period of 30 days in the summer of 2020. The animal brought the prey to the feeding place and dormitory, in front of one of the houses in which it received care. The study site is in the Camobi neighborhood, in the municipality of Santa Maria, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Geographical location 29°41'47.9"S 53°44'20.4"W. This is the first report of the predation of two bird species (Falco sparverius and Leptotila verreauxi) and two Squamatas (Tupinambis and Philodryas olfersii) in Brazil. The results obtained may contribute to reduce the lack of information regarding the impacts of Felis catus and support the need to implement management policies and environmental education, aiming to combat the abandonment of domestic animals and encourage practices such as castration and responsible adoption of animals.
O presente relatório tem como objetivo descrever e discutir as atividades desenvolvidas durante o Estágio Curricular Supervisionado em Medicina Veterinária, realizado na área de Medicina Veterinária Preventiva, com ênfase em Patologia Aviária, no Laboratório Central de Diagnóstico de Patologias Aviárias da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), localizado na cidade de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, sob supervisão do Médico Veterinário Fabio Yuji Shibuya, e orientado pelo Professor Adjunto Dr. Helton Fernandes dos Santos, do Departamento de Medicina Veterinária Preventiva da UFSM (DMVP/UFSM). Durante o período foram acompanhadas as atividades de rotina do laboratório, e a realização de um trabalho de pesquisa científica. As atividades de rotina realizadas durante o período foram: necropsias, atendimentos clínicos, exames coproparasitológicos, coleta de sangue e amostras biológicas em aves e confecção de culturas bacterianas para antibiograma. O período de vivência no laboratório permitiu conhecer a rotina laboratorial, clínica e a importância de cada atividade realizada. As atividades executadas durante o estágio serão apresentadas e discutidas ao longo deste relatório.
