How are Community Cats Different than a Stray or Abandoned Cat?

No matter where you are, community cats probably live among you. Community cats are unowned cats who live outdoors in virtually every landscape on every continent where people live. Like pet cats, they belong to the domestic cat species. However, community cats, also called feral cats, are generally not socialized—or friendly—to people. They live full, healthy lives with their feline families in their outdoor homes, what are commonly referred to as colonies. Trap-Neuter-Return is the only humane, effective approach to community cats, and it helps them and the communities where they live. More information can be found here.
