Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) has proven to be the most humane and effective method of managing feral cat populations.
However, the greatest threat to feral cats is overpopulation. Many compassionate people provide daily food and water for these street cats. They live in neighborhoods, shopping centers, creeks, commercial properties and near dumpsters-anywhere they can find shelter. These cats do the best they can to survive, facing many hardships but many manage to lead a good existence, especially here in California with our temperate climate. Most have never had any human contact but some were once semi-tame cats that now have to fend for themselves. “Feral” cats were born on the streets and have not been socialized to people. You can be satisfied knowing you are helping the animal and the community stay safe.
