All About Feral Cats

A feral cat is a non-domestic cat that was born in the wild and lives outside. Most often they are found in groups or colonies. Feral cats typically do not socialize with humans except to scrap for food around human establishments. They are typically scared of humans since they are on their own from birth. 

If you see feral cats in your neighborhood, it can help them by reporting them to a Trap, Neuter, Release program in your area. it is best not to approach them since they will be skittish around humans. These programs help the cat by humanely catching and treating with medical care and neutering so that they can be released and live healthier lives. It can also help prevent the numbers from growing which can cause problems with wildlife and health issues.
