Why are feral cats a problem? Because they catch diseases and pass them on to pets or humans and because they breed and produce more feral kittens.
Some humans like to help us feral cats. They catch us and get us spayed and neutered. They try and find homes for those of us who can adapt to living with people and they feed and vaccinate those of us who prefer to live wild.
When my Judy was trying to tame me she found lots of help on the Web. Here are some of the best links she found:
- The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has a whole village for wild cats to live. They also have some very practical information on looking after feral cats and some great bulletin boards where you can ask questions and get support from other people. There's even a place where us animals can chat with each other.
- The Feral Cat Coalition has lots of great information including how to trap us!
- How to tame a feral cat
- Alley Cat Allies
