Feral Cat Characteristics In Trap-Neuter-Return Programs
A study to determine the population characteristics of feral cats admitted to large scale T-N-R programs from geographically diverse regions of the U.S.
All groups reported more intact females (53%) than males (44%).
Overall 16% of the female cats were pregnant at the time of surgery.
Pregnancy was highly seasonal and peaked between March and April.
0.4% of cats were euthanized because of debilitating health conditions.
0.4% of cats died during the clinics.
The studies show remarkable similarity between feral groups between various regions.
The results suggest that it is possible to rely on the experiences of existing programs to model new programs.
