Feral cats have no owners. The spay/neuter/release program is the way to go
for rural areas. I have found that by neutering and releasing a feral cat,
he is at least defending my property as his own and chasing the other feral
cats out. I used to have several cats, and or course females producing
kittens before I did this. Now I have one cat that I tolerate and any
friendly cat that makes my yard his area I take away to a rescue or shelter
in another area that will accept them. If you do know who owns the cat, take
the cat to a humane society (we don't have a humane society that covers our
area) and let the owners know so, as was stated in an earlier email, they
have to pay the fee to get the cat back. I have nothing against cats as long
as they are in their homes and not roaming free. It's the people who let
their pets roam or dump them when they don't want them anymore that are the
problem.

Most local animal control units will loan you a live animal trap. Just bait
it with some tuna and you'll have a cat a day to turn in to animal control.
The owners can claim their freshly spayed/nuetered cats, and pay the fees
for the operations and room and board when they pick them up. After paying
to rescue fluffy once or twice they most often decide that fluffy is an
indoor cat.

The population of feral cats in my neighborhood has gone from 1 or 2 to no
less than half a dozen. Due to the fact that I feed birds and promote
wildlife in my yard, it seems as if my yard has become their favored hunting
grounds. I've no doubt that the cat population has seriously impacted
native wildlife, particularly the birds, snakes and chipmunks and I'm pretty
much sick of seeing them sitting under my feeders. The coyotes are not
keeping the population of cats in check. There is no question that the
feral cat is the number one predator in my area. What can be done?
