Does FCAT relocate feral cats?
FCAT does not relocate feral cats. Feral cats survive because they are familiar with the territory where they live. They know where to hide from predators and people who may harm them. We believe that cats who are relocated from the area where they are trapped do not live as cats who are returned. There are many trappers in Seattle who believe that feral cats can become great barn cats and other helpers. If the cats need to be spayed or neutered before relocating to their new home, FCAT is still a great resource. Feral cat sanctuaries are a great alternative for cats who need to be relocated because of development. The problem with sanctuaries is that they fill up quickly and can become overwhelmed.
