| Feral Cats We have several feral cats that roam the premises where I live. They are now getting brave and hissing at kids that are outside playing, people that are walking their dogs, etc... and it's only going to get worse when they start reproducing. Yes management is aware. Will animal control euthanize them if they are caught? It seems like a no win situation, they didn't ask to be left behind when their owners moved.

| Feral Cat Rescue Quote:
Feral Cat Rescue of St. Mary's County feralcatrescue P.O. Box 623 Great Mills, MD 20636 301-475-5059 301-481-0171 Contact via E-Mail Feral Cat Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to humanely reduce the feral and stray cat population in St. Mary's County through a variety of methods without euthanasia. With our Trap-Neuter-Release program, feral cats are humanely trapped then evaluated, vaccinated and sterilized by veterinarians. Healthy adults cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers or those people already feeding them. Under our adoption program, those kittens and tame young adult cats that are adoptable are temporarily placed with foster families so they can be permanently adopted into good homes. Our website lists the kittens & cats we have available for adoption. Each Sunday we hold adoption events at our local Petco in California from 11am-3pm. All our kittens and cats for adoption are spay/neutered, wormed, vaccinated and FIV/FELV tested. For those healthy and fully vetted feral or semi-friendly cats that can’t be returned to their former outdoor home, we have our Barn Cat program, which seeks to place them in qualified farms, stables, warehouses, etc. where they will provide rodent control and these cats can finally have a secure home. We also support our local community with advice and assistance with feral cats, including the loan of traps, hands-on help with trapping and referral to low cost spay/neuter programs. Feral Cat Rescue is a grass roots organization founded in 2007 by a group of volunteers who were profoundly moved by the suffering of feral cats and kittens in our community. Through our community outreach we educate the public about the problem of cat overpopulation, advocate spay/neuter for all domestic or feral cats they are feeding, emphasize responsible pet ownership and stress the importance of treating all animals humanely. If you would like us to speak to your group, give us a call! We are a 501c3 charity. All monetary donations go to pay our veterinary bills. Volunteers and foster parents/families are always needed and welcome. | |

| What's uncalled for is feeding and caring for an invasive species that destroys native wildlife |
