A feral cat is a descendant of a domesticated cat that has returned to the wild. It is distinguished from a stray cat, which is a pet cat that has been lost or abandon, while feral cats are born in the wild. The offspring of a stray cat can be considered feral if born in the wild.
There are many opinions about how to manage the estimated 50 million feral and stray cats, also known as community cats, in the United States. Understanding this complex and emotional issue is essential to combating cat overpopulation.
The Humane Society of the United States can help you find a group, learn how to care for a feral cat, find organizations in your area and more!

We moved to a new house so we lost our precious friend who babysitted our boy for 8 years. It was hard to even think about any vacation because it meant we had to find the best babysitter for Leonardo. My friend highly recommended Lisa Burks and her company House Calls 4 Pet. Just talking to Lisa first... More
Thank you Yuliana, for taking the time to share your experience with the care of your special boy while you were away!
