Feral cats are cats who are not socialized to humans. Instead, they live contented lives with their feline families (often called colonies) outdoors. Cats, like squirrels, chipmunks, and birds, are capable of living healthy, fulfilling lives in the outdoors.

For thousands of years, cats have lived outdoors alongside humans. Just because they don’t live in our homes doesn’t mean they are ‘homeless.’ Yet the current animal control system and even misguided animal welfare organizations believe that taking feral cats to shelters, where nearly 100 percent of them will be killed, is more humane then leaving cats to live outdoors. The science—and the opinion of most Americans—tells a different story.

Research shows majority of feral cats are healthy.

Dear RM Agents and Readers,

As I came by two kittens in the last month and really am allergic; I've been looking at a new home but unable to find one. A neighor stated taht there are a few ferral cats that live here and do just fine. So I'll get them fixed and let them do the wild thing and live a wild life:)

In case you were wondering about any of this.

Many Blessings,
