Feeding Stray Cats

Do you have a lot of stray cats in your area? Did you know there is a difference between strays and feral cats? If you’re feeding strays chances are they may have a home or at least had a home at one point. Consider taking the strays to the vet and having them scanned for a microchip. You could be feeding someone’s lost cat. Feral cats have never lived in a home and are often much timid and more skittish than strays. Chances are the feral cat won’t let you catch him or her for scanning. In terms of feeding the cats, keep the food consistent and make sure there is plenty of water available. Spread the food out so the cats don’t fight as much. Remember, if you commit to feeding now then you should plan on making it a permanent habit.
