What is a feral cat? A feral cat is just another name for an alley cat, one that has never been domesticated or lived in a cozy home. They roam the streets, scavenging in garbage cans for any food they can find. A feral cat’s behavior is significantly different from your typical domestic cat. Feral cats can be particularly aggressive and we advise that you do not approach a feral cat. Annoying behaviors, such as urinating and defecating in your yard or garden, digging in your yard or garden, jumping on your car and upsetting your own cat, are the greatest concerns that the general public has about outdoor cats.

Overpopulation is a serious concern, as well. In the United States, approximately 2% of the 30 to 40 million feral cats have been spayed or neutered. These cats produce around 80% of the kittens born in the U.S. every year. It’s important to do what we can to spay and neuter stray pets.
We do not recommend you try to corner or trap these feral cats on your own. Our professionals are trained and licensed to remove feral cats in a safe and humane way. Feral cats like to make their homes under your home or porch and often end up having their kittens there as well! We’ll humanely remove the cats, disinfect and clean the area and install exclusion materials to prevent the cats from coming back.
