Feral Cat

A feral cat is a domestic cat that has reverted to a wild state, living independently of human care and often in a semi-feral or completely wild condition. These cats are typically the offspring of lost or abandoned domestic cats or have themselves become feral after being outdoors for an extended period without human contact. Understanding the behaviors and needs of feral cats is crucial for developing humane and effective strategies for their care and population control. Programs like TNR aim to strike a balance between the welfare of the cats and the well-being of the ecosystems they inhabit.
