What is a feral
cat?
A cat born and raised in the wild, or who has been
abandoned or lost and turned to wild ways in order to
survive, is considered a free—roaming or feral cat.
While some feral cats tolerate a bit of human contact,
most are too fearful and wild to be handled. Ferals
often live in groups, called colonies, and take refuge
wherever they can find food—rodents and other small
animals and garbage. They will also try to seek out
abandoned buildings or deserted cars—or even dig holes
in the ground—to keep warm in winter months and cool
during the summer heat.
