A feral cat is either a cat who has lived his/her whole life with little or no human contact and is not socialized, or is a stray cat who was lost or abandoned and has lived away from human contact long enough to revert to a wild state. Feral cats avoid human contact and cannot be touched by strangers.
AnimalSave’s Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program subsidizes feral cat spay/neuter and vaccination. TNR is a proven procedure in which entire colonies of stray and feral cats are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered, and vaccinated. This method of population control is more effective than trap-and-kill. Kittens and tame cats can be adopted into good homes. Adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their colony.
AnimalSave provides humane traps, trapping guidance and can help with transporting animals. For more information about AnimalSave’s TNR program call at 530.477.1706. If you leave a message, someone will return your call promptly.
Barn Homes Needed for Feral Cats…
AnimalSave sometimes has outside, unsocialized cats that would love a barn or garage to call home. They need a dry, safe place to sleep, as well as cat food and water. A truly feral cat will probably never tolerate being petted. However, they do learn to trust and will stay close by if given adequate time to acclimate. They can provide non-toxic rat and mouse control around your home or farm. They are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and have tested negative for feline leukemia and feline AIDS. If you are interested in giving a couple of feral cats a caring outside home, please call us at (530) 271-7071 ext 206 for more information.
