Community Cats
Visit the FAQ Section to get your questions answered. Some info appears below.
Feral Cats (aka, Community Cats) are not socialized to humans and do not engage in direct eye contact with humans. In short, they want nothing to do with you. So, if you walk toward the cat and it runs away, it is probably feral. If you have a friendlier stray cat around, don’t be fooled and try to pick it up. Not all cats like being picked up and prefer all-four on the floor.
The Cat Continuum - A community cats fall anywhere on a continuum. At one end, there is a feral cat that is considered to be truly wild and not socialized to humans. On the other end is a cat that might jump in your lap yet lives outside. A stray cats may be friendly or could be semi-feral.

We make every effort to get to your case as soon as possible; however, we only have one primary cat trapper and number of spay-neuter appointments are limited at the clinics. So...it may take a few weeks or 1-2 months to get to your case. If you are willing to follow our detailed instructions exactly, we will loan you traps which could move you up in the queue. We can chat about that option. Learn How Here!
