Maverick (or Feral) Cat
Definitions:

• Feral cats were born and raised outside with little or no human contact. They are difficult to tame and live in family groups called “colonies”.
• Stray cats that have lost contact with their owners and may have “gone wild”.
• Maverick cats may be anywhere along the continuum between stray or feral.

• Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the most effective and humane way to control feral cat populations.
• When feral cats are removed from an area, other cats move in to take advantage of the food source.
• A vaccinated, sterilized colony of feral cats poses no health threat to humans.
• The main cause of wildlife decline is habitat loss due to human activity.

• To provide a trap, neuter and release program to the caretakers of feral colonies.
• To reduce the suffering of homeless, Maverick cats and to assist their caretakers
