suggestions for you to try to get rid of feral cats.

• Do not feed feral cats. Do not leave dishes of food or water out for them, because they will soon learn that your house gives them food every day. They will then start coming to your house every day and bringing all their feral friends. This increases the chance of you or your pet coming in contact with the potentially sick animal.


• If you notice that there are a lot of feral cats in your part of the neighborhood, please call animal control or your local humane society. These officers sometimes will take care of the problem themselves and bring traps to set around the yard and in the places the cats like to frequent.


• Use predator urines like coyotes or fox to repel the cats away. This method is not the most effective way to keeping feral cats off of your property and you have to constantly reapply them. This is not the method you want to try if you live in an area that rains a lot.


• You can buy a trap yourself and try to catch them. Be aware that a trapped feral cat is not something you want to mess with. Make sure that you are wearing thick leather gloves and sleeves so you don’t get scratched or bitten by a potentially sick cat. Once you catch them you will have to relocate them at least ten miles away, take it to a shelter or euthanize it yourself. Unless you take it to a no-kill shelter, the cat will probably be euthanized anyways.


• Get a big dog that stays in the yard to deter cats from coming onto your property. As, everyone knows, dogs and cats do not get along and a dog is usually an effective way to keeping the cats out of your yard. But then again, if the cat scratches or bites your dog, you will have to take it to the vet to get antibiotics.
