Isn’t there any other way to control feral cats so they don’t kill songbirds?
A. There are a variety of alternatives to cat-hunting. Trap-and-kill is the most well-known corollary to the concept, although far more humane. Modern approaches are being sought that meet a “no-kill” demand in the rescue community. One method that has been shown to be effective in reducing and/or eliminating feral cat colonies is Trap, Neuter and Release (TNR). Alley Cat Allies and Dane County Friends-of-Ferals are both advocates with a great deal to share on the subject. The ideas of relocating or containing populations of these cats is also being explored and implemented by a number of groups like the Best Frinds Animal Society.
