What Is A Feral Cat?
You've probably seen them gathered around dumpsters and in parking lots, homeless cats who flee from humans. These domestic cats, who are referred to as "feral," are the result of both the failure to spay/neuter and cat abandonment. The only difference between a house cat and a feral is that the latter has had little or no human contact and developed a natural fear of humans. Ferals are erroneously labelled "wild cats." A bobcat is a wild cat; a feral cat is a homeless domestic cat.
The word "feral" is used on this site to describe a homeless domestic cat who is afraid of humans. As with any frightened animal, it is very important to use extreme caution. Always consult with an experienced rescuer before attempting to handle or trap a feral cat.
Cat Care utilises the Trap-Neuter-Return program for our colonies (What is Trap-Neuter-Return?)
We ahve plenty of adorable cats and kittens who are looking for their furever homes. Please contact us to find out mroe or go to our Facebook page.
