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.
feed and care for the cat. Love it.
No, everything is the same -- cats are cats. In colder climates, a feral cat often has a thicker coat. Feral cats are domesticated but they have not been around people enough to be fully trusting.
Feral cats are simply relocated and is a job they seldom do, that is just their name, not a specialty.
Feral cat is unsocialized domestic cat. Feral Cats looks like pet cats. Feral cats are born outdoors, and they live outdoors. Feral cats are noctural. They sleep during the daytime, and they are active during night. Feral cats are wary of humans; thus they aren't adoptable as pet cats. Feral cats live in colonies with other feral cats.
no feral cats are like the hirless old cats you see in the alleyways of a big city
People are trapping feral cats and spaying/neutering them in order to ensure that they won't be producing an ever larger feral cat population! Some of them may even be saved and adopted out to good homes.
Feral cats live anywhere that has appropriate temperatures for cats to live, so therefore, yes, feral cats can be found in Georgia.
Paw color does not tell you if a cat is feral or not.
if they spray or if they are attacking your cat, or anything like that , then call animal control
No, feral cats are considered just that: Feral. Feral cats are usually house cats that have been abandoned or neglected. Most would not survive in the wild like real wild cats for any length of time. This is why a lot of feral cats live in small groups that share the same territory, shelter and food supply.
Feral cats can be found anywhere domestic cats are or have been. Feral roughly translated to 'Domestic Gone Wild' but can be kittens bred from "Domestic Gone Wild" cats too. If you are referring to Wild Cats (Felis sylvestris) All five species can be found in parts of Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia. I happen to be the owner of a feral kitten (now tamed and adult but came from Feral linages).
There are cats everywhere you go because people will adopt cats and will either not want them anymore, or the cats will run a way. After time, these cats become feral, or wild, and then mate. The United States is over populated with feral cats, and the only way to stop the cats from breeding it by catching the cats and spaying and neutering them.
