Feral Cats

Feral cats are bad for our environment.

They can be controlled by responsible humans who look after their domestic cats so that the cats do not want to leave home or, are not "dumped" in our bushland areas to turn feral out of necessity to survive.

Control by: Trapping, Shooting.

Feral cats are normally domestic cats that have been allowed to escape into the wild or have been released into the wild by irresponsible feral humans.

To date they have successfully colonized most habitats throughout Australia that belong to our native animals.

Feral cats are opportunistic feeders/predators that eat almost anything and are probably the single biggest threat to our native animals.

Feral cats can have a feeding territory of up to 10 square kilometers, they can be active at all times of the day but are most active at night and especially at sunrise and sunset. In the Northern Territory 63 species of native animal remains have been found in the stomach contents of feral cats.

Feral cats can spread disease such as feline panleukopaenia and toxoplasmosis which can be passed on to humans.

Trapping: Feral cats can be easily controlled by the setting up of a professional trapping program.

Sydney Feral Animal Control Pty Ltd can custom make a trapping program to suit your situation whether it be in an urban environment or in a rural setting.
