Feral Cats

July 26, 2003

Caring for feral cats is a work of unconditional love. You do it because you love them - not because you want them to love you back!

There are about 60 million of them in this country - living on the streets, in parks, in parking lots, and in the shadows of human civilization. How best to care for them - and to keep their numbers from growing?

Some of the nation's big old humane organizations still say the best solution is just to kill them! Experts on cat care totally disagree because a) killing them doesn't work, and b) it's ethically bankrupt.

This week, we'll introduce you to the world of alley cats, and explain the basics of Trap/Neuter/Return - the key to feral cat care. And in an upcoming feature, we'll focus on successful efforts around the country.
