Feral cats have adapted to live in many parts of the world, but many of them are unaltered and they reproduce quickly. Many of them are subject to hunger, injury, lack of shelter, disease, and because they continue to reproduce rapidly, they perpetuate these hardships in their offspring. To help reduce these populations without mass euthanasia of feral cats, rescues around the country have "TNR" or Trap Neuter Release programs where they trap ferals, get them spayed/neutered, and then release them back into the community, or rehome them as outside cats or working cats on farms to help with rodent control. We have taken in feral cats to help provide them with some stability, get them off the streets, and to sterilize them so their offspring don't perpetuate the problem.
