Stray cat information - Stray cat pictures
A stray cat is a cat that has been allowed to roam by its owner
and has been unable to find its way home.
The existing stray cat population and its annual replenishment through
natural reproduction and abandonment of domestic cats causes significant
problems.
Feral cats are born outdoors and have not been socialized. Uncomfortable
around humans, they will never be comfortable living in human homes.
They make homes in colonies wherever they can find food, be it in
alleys or under a boardwalk. On their own without human intervention,
breeding is not controlled, and their numbers steadily increase. All
cats, even those born outside and having never lived with a human
family, should be allowed to live the lives they deserve - outdoors,
happy, healthy and prevented from becoming part of an endless cycle
of breeding.
A feral cat has a life expectancy of only 2 years , all stray or feral
cats were either a former house pet,or a descendent of one. They will
not survive for very long on their own and require us to shed our
indifference and help them. We are glad you have taken the first step.
