feral cats
Feral cats are domestic cats that live outdoors and have little to no human interaction. Unlike house cats, they are not socialized to people and often form colonies in urban or rural areas. These cats typically rely on hunting small animals for food and can adapt to various environments.
Feral cats can reproduce quickly, leading to large populations if not managed. Many communities implement trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs to control their numbers humanely. TNR involves trapping feral cats, spaying or neutering them, and then returning them to their original location, which helps reduce overpopulation and improve their quality of life.
