Veterinary Care for Feral Cats

Veterinary care for feral cats involves providing necessary health services such as vaccinations, spaying or neutering, parasite control, and treatment of injuries or illnesses. Since feral cats are often unhandled and cautious, mobile clinics or trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs are commonly used to safely trap, assess, and care for them without domestication. This approach helps control their population, prevents disease spread, and improves their overall well-being. Careful, compassionate intervention aims to stabilize feral cat populations while respecting their natural behavior, promoting healthier colonies and reducing the impact on local ecosystems.
