SNC Feral Cat Policy - Exotico Savannahs
Feral Cats
Introduction
Welcome to Exotico Savannahs, your premier source for Pets and Animals - Pets. We understand the importance of responsible pet ownership and are committed to providing our customers with valuable information about our SNC Feral Cat Policy. Our policy is designed to protect the well-being of feral cats while ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all animals.
What is a Feral Cat?
A feral cat is a domestic cat that has either been born into the wild or has reverted to a wild state over time. These cats have had little to no human contact, often living in colonies in urban, suburban, or rural areas. Feral cats are distinct from stray cats, as they are not socialized and do not easily adapt to living with humans.
Our Approach
At Exotico Savannahs, we firmly believe in the importance of humane practices when it comes to dealing with feral cats. Our SNC Feral Cat Policy is centered around the principles of trap-neuter-return (TNR) and responsible colony management. By implementing this approach, we strive to control the feral cat population humanely and reduce the negative impacts associated with unsupervised breeding.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
Trap-neuter-return (TNR) is a method widely recognized as the most effective and humane approach to managing feral cat populations. It involves trapping feral cats, spaying or neutering them, and then returning them to their original location. This approach prevents the cats from reproducing, resulting in a stable and healthier population over time.
Benefits of TNR
Implementing TNR as part of our SNC Feral Cat Policy offers various benefits. Firstly, it prevents the cats from contributing to the cycle of overpopulation and reduces the number of cats ending up in shelters. TNR also helps improve the cats' overall health by reducing the risks of certain diseases and behaviors associated with unaltered cats. Additionally, stabilized feral cat colonies can help keep rodent populations in check naturally.
Responsible Colony Management
Alongside TNR, responsible colony management plays a crucial role in our SNC Feral Cat Policy. We prioritize working with local communities, volunteers, and organizations to ensure that feral cat colonies are monitored, provided with necessary resources, and receive proper medical care when needed. This proactive approach helps create a safe and healthy environment for the cats, neighboring animals, and the community as a whole.
Adoption and Socialization
While our primary focus is on managing feral cat populations through TNR, we recognize that some feral cats may be suitable for adoption and socialization. In such cases, we work closely with reputable animal welfare organizations to identify potential candidates for adoption. These cats undergo a careful assessment and rehabilitation process, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready to join a loving home.

Conclusion
At Exotico Savannahs, we are dedicated to promoting the welfare of all animals, including feral cats. Our SNC Feral Cat Policy reflects our commitment to responsible pet ownership, humane practices, and community involvement. By implementing TNR and responsible colony management, we strive to create a better future for feral cats and foster a harmonious relationship between humans and animals.
