Feral cat populations can be safely controlled with the TrapNeuter-Return method.
Feral cat populations can be safely managed Feral cats, unlike strays, have been born and raised in the wild or have been abandoned and must revert back to their primitive ways in order to survive. Most of these cats, fearful of humans and too skittish to be handled, often live in groups and take refuge wherever there is available food and shelter. Because of this, they are unfortunately subject to harsh weather conditions, starvation, or diseases and sometimes even eradicated by humans in attempts to deplete the feral cat population. In honor of National Feral Cat day on Oct. 16, here is what can be done to help the undomesticated cats. People will be able to tell if they have come in contact with a feral cat rather than a stray by their standoffish and notably quiet demeanor. They will most likely keep their distance and scamper off when approached. However, this shouldn’t deter people from trying to help. Feral cats have a great chance of survival if they live in a group, or colony, maintained by a dedicated caretaker. This means providing regular feeding and proper shelter, as well as spay/neuter services. A popular and effective way to do this is the Trap-Neuter-Return method, or TNR. This humane method, helping to stabilize, and over time, reduce the population of feral cats, traps the cats to have them spayed or neutered and vaccinated (against rabies), and then returns them to their colony. “At the time of the spay or neuter, the veterinarian surgically removes the tip of one ear (ear-tipping) as a safe and effective means of marking cats, thus sparing them from unnecessary trappings,� said Dr. Carly Duff, veterinary resident at the
Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. By stabilizing the population, cats will be exposed to fewer risks of disease and will live healthier lives, with more space and food to themselves. People may call their local animal shelter for help in trapping a feral cat for TNR. When they do this, don’t feed the cats for a little over a day, as they must be hungry to enter the trap, which is usually baited with tuna, sardines, salmon, or other luxurious foods that feral cats aren’t accustomed to eating. After they have been vaccinated and spayed or neutered, they are then returned to their colony. The Aggie Feral Cat Alliance of Texas, or AFCAT, is a program at Texas A&M University whose main goal is to provide care and longterm management of feral cats on campus. Comprised of students, staff, and faculty from the Texas A&M campus, they also provide educational information on the costs and commitment of responsible pet ownership to help decrease the source of feral cats. Those interested in joining or wanting to learn more, can visit vetmed.tamu.edu/ afcat/. Remember that although these cats are wild and often untamable, they still need help to survive. With humane methods such as TNR and the involvement of dedicated caretakers, people can decrease their risk of disease and starvation by helping to stabilize and eventually reduce the population of feral cats.
