feral cats
Feral cats are domestic cats that live outdoors and have little to no human interaction. Unlike pets, they are not socialized to people and often avoid contact. They typically form colonies in urban or rural areas where they find food and shelter. Feral cats can reproduce quickly, leading to growing populations, which can impact local wildlife. Many communities address feral cats through programs like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), where cats are humanely trapped, neutered, and returned to their colonies to help control their numbers while allowing them to live naturally.
