Have feral cats spayed or neutered!

Over 70% of cats who enter our nation's animal control pounds and shelters are killed - feral, stray, and companion cats. That number jumps to virtually 100% for feral cats. -Alley Cat Allies

In an effort to humanely reduce stray and feral cat populations through sterilization the Spay Neuter Assistance Program of North Carolina now offers a price of $90 to have feral (wild) cats spayed or neutered.

What is a feral cat?
Feral cats can be the offspring of stray or abandoned domestic cats who have reverted to a wild state. They can also be the offspring of feral cats who have lived in a wild state for some generations. Finally, they can be domestic cats that have run off, or have been abandoned, or have "gone feral" meaning "gone wild. Feral Cats live in family groups called colonies and can be found anywhere there is food.
