In Washington D.C. alone, for example, there are more than 300 known feral cat colonies. Wildlife are victims of this problem, but feral cats are too as conditions for survival are tough. And as with so many other environmental banes, the root of the problem neatly traces back to a single source: humans.
Thank you for reporting this comment. The problem is, at 12 weeks, they are feral and fearful of people. Feral kittens need to be taken from their mama asap and hand raised to make good pets. The mother needs to be spayed, obviously, or your backyard cat population will increase dramatically. Like Bookmark June 22, 2008 at 12:42PM.
