What is a Feral Cat?

Feral cats are the offspring of either feral or domesticated cats that weren't handled by humans as kittens and thus cannot be tamed, touched, or handled as adults. If they aren't spayed or neutered, they end up creating more and more cats and adding to the problem. Exponentially over 7 years, a single mating pair of cats and offspring can create 420,000 cats. That's a lot of cats.

In response to this, the FCC (Feral Cat Coalition) has a non-profit program where they trap, spay & neuter, then release feral cats. This policy has greatly reduced the number of euthanized cats across the country.
