Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. Trap-neuter-release programs sound nice and let folks think that they are doing good but they actually often add to the problem , and never reach the goal of zero feral cats in an area.

It is commonly kept in captivity and has therefore established many feral populations world-wide originating from escaped / released cage birds. This is what happens when people choose their pet birds on visual factors alone without taking vocalizations into account. Very stupid thing to do.

And so, when Salvador Ramirez left, there were feral goats on the island of San Clemente, the southernmost of the Channel Islands off the coast of California. And so, most had been neutered, adopted out to soft-hearted landowners as odd pets, conversation pieces. No such association was formed on behalf of the ear mites.)

The HBW describes the population of the Blue-naped Parrot at Kota Kinabalu as feral – sounds a bit harsh to me given the proximity of Kota Kinabalu to those areas where the species is deemed a proper resident. It is listed as Near Threatened, partly due to the usual occurrence of illegal trade for the pet market.

I don't believe that any cat is unadoptable, even feral cats. I believe that a feral may never be a lap cat and they may never even let you pet them. There are also many "feral" and "food-aggressive" personality types in humans, but we don't put them down.) But you can earn their friendship and companionship.

A feral kitten captured and neutered by a small non-profit, somewhat militant organization, was on display at our local Massachusetts Society Prevention of Cruelty Association branch, which often took these feral cats in the hope of finding homes for them. My youngest daughter spotted the exceedingly shy black cat and wanted her.

It’s the bane of many rehabbers that they simply can’t get through to cat owners on this critical issue of free-roaming pets. But, we’re facing a world of shrinking biodiversity and depressingly-high bird kill numbers that demand an accounting outside of our self interest.

Half a decade ago, in a little mountain town about 60 miles northeast of San Diego, a feral kitten dragged his front left leg uselessly. Once gregarious and outgoing, she withdrew from her family and friends, from everyone except her pet cats. They tell pets their secrets; they speak in a different tone to them.”.

Here are some myths: Falconry birds are essentially pets. The previous snowy was a good hunter but unfortunately that owl caught a feral pigeon that had frounce and died not long afterwards–something that could happen with a wild snowy. Turns out the founder of TRC and many the vets who worked in clinic were falconers as well.

The huge population of feral cats undoubtedly is having a detrimental effect on our bird life. On a local level we need to consider if we really do need to let our pets chase shorebirds and whether we really do need to drive along our shoreline. Until the problem with invasive species is addressed they will always be at risk.

Tibbles did contribute, but it was a population of feral cats that did the bulk of the killing. For the wren, that advantage was taken away in 1894, when a pregnant cat escaped (Tibbles was a pet taken from the subsequent feral population). Ironically these are the same feral cats that exterminated the wren in the first place.
