When the trap is approached with the cat inside, the cat will try to escape by hitting itself against the bars frantically or sink to the bottom of the cage in a small ball, growling, hissing, and being aggressive or scared. The only way to catch them is to trap them in a humane trap. They cannot be touched, pet, or picked up.
Simply crossing within 20ft of the cat will cause them to run away and seek shelter behind a structure, under a house, or up a tree/fence. They can be pet or picked up and are easily transported in a common cat carrier without undue stress.Ī feral cat is much like a raccoon. They will approach humans to ask for food or affection. The major and Very important difference is that a stray cat enjoys being touched or is at very least handleable. They could or would have spent most of their life on the street. Stray cats and feral cats share the same basic characteristics in that both are cats that do not have an obvious owner, who wander around the neighborhood without a human family they call home. The San Antonio Humane Society values the sterilization of both populations of cats, however, the care needed and grants available for the different types of cats is varied. There is some confusion in cats on the difference between “feral” and “stray”.
