    Managing community cats

    “Community cats” is the catch-all term the animal welfare community uses for those feral and stray cats living outdoors in our communities. These cats are generally considered unowned or to have a loose affiliation with one or more people who care for them -- approximately 10% of the American public feed outdoor cats who they don’t consider their own pets. It is unclear how many community cats exist in the U.S., but we estimate there may be 30 – 40 million of them.

Our PSAs raise awareness of how simple actions, like donating pet food to a pantry, or more involved ones, such as temporarily fostering the pet of a friend or neighbor, can make it possible for pets to remain with their people during times of need.
