feral cat management

Feral cat management involves strategies to control and reduce the impact of unmanaged wild cats on wildlife and communities. Methods include trap-neuter-return (TNR), where cats are safely captured, sterilized, and returned to their environment to prevent overpopulation. Sometimes, humane removal or adoption programs are used. Effective management balances animal welfare with ecological health by controlling feral populations, reducing nuisances, and preventing disease spread. Collaboration among animal welfare groups, residents, and authorities ensures humane and sustainable solutions tailored to specific local needs.
