Community (Feral) Cat Colony Program
Feral Cats
Welcome to Exotico Savannahs' Community (Feral) Cat Colony Program! As a responsible and dedicated pet sanctuary, we believe in creating a safe and humane environment for all cats, including those within feral cat colonies.
Caring for Feral Cats
Feral cat colonies consist of cats that are not accustomed to human interaction and prefer to live in the wild. At Exotico Savannahs, we understand the importance of caring for these cats and ensuring their well-being.
Our dedicated team of volunteers and experts have developed a comprehensive program designed to provide the necessary care and support for feral cat colonies. Our program includes:
1. Feeding Stations
We have strategically placed feeding stations within the colonies to ensure that the cats have access to regular meals. These feeding stations are stocked with nutritious food to promote good health and provide the cats with the nourishment they need.
2. Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
Exotico Savannahs is a strong advocate for Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. Through this approach, we work closely with local veterinarians to humanely trap feral cats, spay/neuter them, and provide necessary medical treatment.
By implementing TNR, we prevent the overpopulation of feral cat colonies and improve the overall health of the cats. This program also helps to control the spread of diseases and reduces the impact on local wildlife populations.
3. Shelter and Protection
We believe in providing a safe and secure environment for feral cats. Exotico Savannahs ensures that each colony has adequate shelter options, such as insulated cat houses and protected areas, to protect them from extreme weather conditions.
Our team regularly inspects and maintains these shelters to ensure they remain in good condition. This helps provide the cats with a sense of security and a place to retreat to when they feel threatened.
4. Monitoring and Medical Care
Our volunteers closely monitor the feral cat colonies to ensure their well-being. We provide ongoing medical care, including vaccinations and treatment for any illnesses or injuries.
Monitoring the colonies allows us to identify cats that may require specialized medical attention. By promptly addressing their needs, we enhance their quality of life and minimize risks associated with untreated conditions.
Building Awareness and Education
Exotico Savannahs actively engages in raising awareness about feral cat colonies and the importance of responsible colony management. Through our educational initiatives, we strive to promote compassion and understanding towards feral cats.
We conduct workshops and outreach programs to educate individuals about feral cat behavior, TNR programs, and the benefits of maintaining stable and healthy colonies. Our goal is to debunk common misconceptions and foster a more supportive community for feral cats.
