Barn Cats--a new way to save feral cats

[Catherine]

There are a lot of feral cats in cities in Ontario(and all over the world).
The Trap Neuter Release program is doing great things to help these animals.

Some feral colonies can be maintained right were they are and gradually the colony will die out as no new kittens are born.

Those that can be adopted are found homes. Many are just not able to cope with living with people. Some colonies cannot stay where they are or there is no one able to maintain them(provide food and outdoor shelters).

Barn Cats is an idea to give them a chance. These cats are relocated to barns where they can live feral and yet be provided for.

I think it shows creative thinking and a real resourcefulness when it come to find solutions for the feral cat problem.

I hope it works out.  Some of these cats are lovely, but they just can't adapt to living with people.
