Feral cats are cats that are born in the wild or that have been abandoned or lost and have returned to their wild instincts. Cats can and do live anywhere humans do. The populations of feral cats can be explosive if they've found a safe location. It is estimated that female feral cats can spend the majority of their lives pregnant. This could mean one female could have as many as 420,000 offspring in a seven (7) year lifespan. It is rare, however, that feral cats will live beyond five (5) years and more common that they make it only two (2) years.
