A feral cat is 𝐀 𝐂𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐒; they have not had human interaction by being spoken to, played with or held. These cats fear humans and prefer to live outdoors, away from people. 📢𝑷𝑳𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑬 𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑬: "𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍" 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓𝒔. "𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥" 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲.

Feral cats typically live in colonies with other feral cats and are not suitable as indoor pets. They tend to be nocturnal, coming out overnight to avoid interacting with and being detected by humans. You will not be able to catch a feral cat without a trap; they will never allow you to get close. They will not make eye contact with you, will not meow, and will usually appear well-groomed and healthy. 𝐹𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑦𝑜𝑢!

There are 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 "𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥." A cat that has never had human interaction and refuses human interaction might be labeled "totally feral." Another cat that has had some interaction--perhaps with a feeder--and will allow a human to come close might be described as "semi-feral." Sometimes, semi-feral cats are taken into foster care for socialization. Success depends on the cat and the person doing the socializing. Socializing a semi-feral cat is a long-term proposition requiring tremendous patience.

What can we do for feral cats? TNR them and let them be. If possible, provide food and shelter to make life easier. 🐈💙

Feral Furbabies – 2026 Focus & Plans 🐾

I want to be transparent with everyone about the focus for Feral Furbabies this year.

🔹 Our primary focus for 2026 is TNR (Trap–Neuter–Return) and emergency cases, handled strictly case by case.
🔹 Intake is currently closed. This allows me to responsibly focus on the cats already in our care and work toward getting them into loving, permanent homes.

🐱 What we are focusing on this year:
• Finding homes for the cats currently in our care
• Our TNR event in March
• A few fundraising events dedicated specifically to emergency medical cases
• Continuing and growing the Senior Purr Partners Program
• Adoption events beginning in the spring
• Yard sales and a bake sale to help support our mission

This is also the year I need to focus on getting my credit straight so I can work toward purchasing a property and making the long-term dream a reality — a true sanctuary to better serve the stray and feral cat population.

I truly appreciate every single person who follows, supports, donates, volunteers, and believes in what we’re trying to build. ❤️
Please share this post to help get the word out, and I’ll continue to keep y’all updated as plans move forward.

Thank you for standing with Feral Furbabies.

I’ll be heading out this Saturday to purchase more straw. I’ll be buying five bales, but I can fit up to nine in my car.
If anyone would like to purchase a bale, you can send me the money ahead of time or pay me when you pick up the straw, and I’ll grab it while I’m there.
Straw is preferred over hay or blankets for outdoor animals, as it helps retain warmth and stays drier during the winter months.
Just reach out and let me know! 🐾🌾

Screaming for those in the back

Fixed at just 3 pounds. Pediatric spay/neuter is safe and 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆.

This is how we operate because it’s proven, responsible, and effective.

Let’s be honest:
There is risk with any surgery.
That applies to pediatric spay/neuter, adult spay/neuter, and everything in between.

What 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝘃𝘀. 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲.

Here are the facts:
😺Kittens can be fixed once they reach 2 pounds
😺3 pounds is most common and ideal for us due to rabies vaccination timing
😺A 3-pound kitten is typically around 12 weeks old
😺This has been standard practice in experienced, high-volume clinics for decades

𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲𝘀.

Because kittens:
‼️Can go into heat as early as 4 months
‼️Do not wait for human timelines or assumptions

💔😭 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 “𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀” 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟯 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁. Yes, you read that right.

It’s devastating.
And it’s exactly why waiting fails.

Pediatric spay/neuter:
✔ Comparable or lower complication rates
✔ Faster healing and recovery
✔ Prevents accidental litters
✔ Eliminates the risk window entirely
✔ Stops the cycle before it starts

This isn’t about feelings or comfort.
It’s about prevention before the damage is done.

Fix them early.
Fix them responsibly.
End the cycle. 🐾

🐾 Introducing Senior Purr Partners 🐾
A new program by Feral Furbabies
Because no one should be alone — human or cat.
Many seniors want the companionship of a cat but worry about one important question:
👉 “What happens to my cat if something happens to me?”
💜 Senior Purr Partners was created to remove that worry.
Through this program, seniors adopt a cat from Feral Furbabies and provide love, food, litter, and a safe home. In return, Feral Furbabies offers a lifelong safety net.
✨ Program Highlights:
Seniors fully adopt their cat
Adoption agreement guarantees the cat will return to Feral Furbabies if the adopter can no longer care for them
Annual core vaccines provided by Feral Furbabies
Flea, tick, and deworming prevention available at cost or discounted pricing
🐱 This program is ideal for calm adult or senior cats and seniors looking for companionship without fear of the unknown.
If you or someone you know could benefit from Senior Purr Partners, please reach out or share this post. Together, we can make sure no senior — and no cat — is ever alone. 💜🐾
