Re: [AlpacaTalk] Questions about barn cats

 

Excellent points. Also, TNR (trap and release) programs allow you to keep ferals in their colony territory, keeping the feral/wild population balanced and static. It's really not advised to remove ferals from their locations.

If your barn cats are spayed and neutered, feral cats will probably not settle, but if the weather is cold and they are hungry, they very well may. Not all feral cats carry diseases...some are just homeless because they've been left behind. If you do end up with ferals, you can borrow a trap from Animal Control and turn them in to the shelter. Not sure about where you live, but some areas have serious feral cat colony problems and there are local groups that trap them, have them sterilized and vaccinated and then set free.             laura
