A feral cat has been separated from domestication, whether through abandonment, loss or running away, and returned to a wild state. Feral cats may live alone, but are usually found in groups called feral colonies. Their average life span is usually less than two years while a housecat lives an average of sixteen years or more!*
It's extremely important to spay/neuter ALL cats! Cats become pregnant repeatedly every year and have five to seven kittens in each litter. An unaltered female cat can produce hundreds of kittens in a lifetime, and if those offspring are not spay/neutered, the population of unwanted cats explodes. Our shelter receives literally hundreds of feral cats and kittens every year and there simply aren't enough homes. Please do everything you can to make sure that every cat is spay or neutered.
