The Original Cat Action Trust, the pioneer society for ferals, was founded in 1977 to help the feral cat.

The Cat Action Trust was founded by people who thought this slaughter of innocent cats both cruel and senseless. How much better to control the cat population, to contain and maintain it. So, volunteers visited the cat colonies, trapped the cats, took them to the vets to be neutered, tamed the kittens and found them good homes, and returned those adult cats that were too old to change their feral ways to their sites.
Feral cats are domestic cats living wild, either because they and their descendants have strayed from home or more commonly because they are unwanted and have been abandoned. AND THEY MULTIPLY... a healthy female can give birth to up to 120 kittens in her life time. AND TODAY...there are many Branches around the country trapping, neutering and caring about the ferals. Many thousands of feral cats have been neutered, but there is a great deal still to be done.
