A
true feral cat has never been domesticated and will never be able
to be re-homed. Sometimes people ask us to remove feral cats, but
we are not able to do this. Neither can we admit ferals to Branch
care as they do not cope with confinement.
Many
domestic cats that have been straying for some time become timid
with humans and are mistaken for feral cats. Stray ex-domestic cats
can only be admitted to Branch care if they are socialised to humans.
If you are feeding a stray cat, but would prefer it to be re-homed,
we would ask that you continue feeding the cat and try to gain its
trust. Once the cat has gained confidence we will try to re-home
it.
