Why Should We Care About Feral Cats?

Ignore them: and you end up with rampant- disease, fighting, inbreeding, starvation, and overpopulation.

Don't feed them: and the same thing will happen. steadily available food actually helps to calm the fighting among feral cat populations because they don't have to stress about or compete over food.

Call animal control: and it does nothing toward true population control, let alone healthcare and kitten prevention. Killing these animals simply makes way for new feral cat colonies to move in. The cost of euthanization is far more than the cost of medical care and fixing through organizations like the Feral Cat Coalition and Heartland Humane Society.

Turning them in to the Humane Society: might seem like the best option here, however feral cats who do not have caregivers must be euthanized. And again, killing these animals does not improve the situation, and costs more than getting them the proper care.









If you pair 72,000 cats into couples (equaling 36,000), and apply the breeding statistics we learned earlier (8 years of life equals 2,072,500 kittens), the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon has prevented 74,610,000,000 cats from being born into the harrowing life of a feral feline!





The Feral Cat Coalition often has spay and neuter days where you can receive care for your feral cats at absolutely no cost. They even have a mobile medical unit that can come to you and will provide you with catch and release traps with which to capture those little wild rascals. Just contact them for more details.

How much do you spend a week on fancy-schmancy coffee that you could just as easily make at home?





Organizations such as The Feral Cat Coalition or Oregon, Heartland Humane Society, Alley Cat Allies, and the Humane Society of The United States all partner with concerned feral cat caregivers to help provide vital medical support and advice to these kind people.

Remember little Tickles? These are 2 of 5 of the kittens she had before we were able to catch her and get her the medical care she needed. Thanks to Heartland Humane Soc, these fuzzy-wuzzies were all put into kitty foster-care and adopted by wonderful families.
