Feral cats are wild, undomesticated cats which are the decedents of domestic cats that have been abandoned or have strayed from their homes into the wild. Without any contact or handling from humans, cats become poorly socialized and revert back to a wild state. Usually feral cats live in groups together called feral cat colonies. These colonies can be found in many parts of the world and are actually frequently credited with keeping the rodent and vermin population in check for many larger cities. There is much debate about what should be done about feral cat colonies, or if anything should be done at all, though it is generally agreed that trap, neuter/spay, and return programs are the most humane for keeping the feral cat populations in check.

If you are interested in learning more about feral cat colonies and what you can do to help, let our expert explain how you should interact and what you should do with these wild cats. In this free video series you will learn how to bait and trap feral cats for spaying and neutering, how to handle feral kittens, and even how to protect your car from feral cat urine. If you've ever wanted to help those stray but wild cats you see on the street, this video is an excellent resource for people interested in becoming volunteers.
