As more people illegally dump their cats in neighborhoods with the hope that someone will adopt them, their lives are at risk of desease, freezing to death, starvation, brutal territorial fighting, and they contribute to breeding more litters who are destined for the same. Carol's Ferals is a wonderful group located in the Grand Rapids, Michigan USA area, but check for similar groups online and in your area. For a nominal donation these groups will aid in the capture, neutering and release of feral cats so at least they will not continue to breed. Recently, I contacted Carol regarding a big tomcat who's adopted us and lives on our porch. The next step is to capture him and have him neutered...and hopefully bring him indoors for a safer life. As Carol says, "Don't let your fear of the situation get in the way of helping the cat."
