How do feral cats survive—find food, stay warm, etc.? Many dont survive. If they do survive, their lives arent easy without human caretakers. Females may become pregnant as young as 5 months of age and may have two to three litters a year. Being pregnant so young and so often, and having and nursing kittens, is even more stressful on female cats who are struggling to survive. More than half of the kittens are likely to die without human intervention. Males who roam and fight to find mates and defend their territories may be injured and transmit diseases to one another through bite wounds. Feral cats may find food in a restaurant dumpster or someone may feed them. They may find shelter from the elements beneath a porch or in an abandoned building. But often they are without ta reliable source of food and adequate shelter. Trap-Neuter-Return is a non-lethal strategy to reduce the number of feral cats and improve the quality of life for cats, birds, wildlife, and people. humanesociety.org/issues/feral_cats/qa/feral_cat_FAQs.html Kind of so sad....though I try not to think about them but whenever I get soaked in rain or feel cold, I cant stop thinking about homeless people and homeless animals :(
