Animal Care and Control Centre care for more than 800 feral cats every summer. These cats have had little to no socialization with humans, which means they are wild animals and not adoptable. Although it is important to get these animals off the streets and decrease the feral cat population, it does pose the question: 'Now what?' We now offer the Barn Buddy Program, which places feral cats with willing and appropriate rural applicants who can provide outdoor residency and access to shelter, food and water. This program will run from April 1 to October 30 every year.
All feral cats will be fixed and microchipped, at no cost to the applicant. Caregivers must also provide veterinary care, when appropriate, and provide a bi-annual update on how the cat is doing to Animal Care and Control. Donations are accepted in lieu of an adoption fee and will help to cover costs of in-centre care and surgeries. If you are interested in participating in our Barn Buddy Program, please complete the and allow 2 weeks for follow-up from a staff member. A feral cat has been born to other feral or stray cats and has received no socialization with humans. Its behavioural characteristics reflect those of a wild animal in that it will run, hide or act aggressively if approached.
Feral cats have spent their whole lives living on the streets and are able to find food, water and shelter in order to survive. Feral cats reproduce at an alarmingly fast rate, so efforts to trap and sterilize are critically important. As these cats are not domesticated, there is little hope of rehabilitation or adoption when the animal is past the kitten stage.
