Check with your local animal shelter and / or animal rescue organizations for any Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs in your area. These programs humanely trap and spay/neuter cats, and then return them to their colonies. (The majority of adult ferals cannot be socialized and thus are not able to be adopted out to people). If you see kittens, try to catch them and bring them to your shelter; the kittens can usually be socialized and adopted out.

The best way to control feral cat colonies is through TNR--trap-neuter-return-the cats to their home. This stops the breeding, and the "annoying" behavior of unneutered colonies. The cats become healthier, they get rabies shots, and they can live a normal, good life. Provide shelters, fresh food and water, plus an outdoor litter box and keep that well-scooped and filled with play sand.You can contact Alley Cat Rescue, Mt. Rainier, Maryland, for more information.
