The key to managing feral cat colonies is the trap, neuter/spay, release (TNR) method. In essence, the cats are fixed and then rereleased, and volunteers continue to feed them. With TNR, sterilized cats are identified by a notched or cropped ear, to prevent trapping them again. See CARE’s Please Spay/Neuter Your Pet page for a list of low cost spay/neuter resources. If you call animal control, feral cats are usually immediately euthanized.
