- Find out if there is a homeless cat rescue organization in your area. If so, support them by donating your time and/or money.
- If there is no organization in your area, consider starting one. The Feral Cat Coalition web site contains substantial information to this end.
- Protest loudly when you hear of feral cats being killed inhumanely. Yours is not a voice in the wilderness. You will be surprised and delighted at the number of people who feel the same way as you do. Remember, in numbers there is power. As Jana Faucher says, "We must be their voice."
- Set an example of your love of animals by spaying/neutering your own.
- Spread the word in every way you can that euthenasia is not the answer to feral cat management. Start by supporting Alley Cat Allies, and/or your own local rescue organization.
Feral cats have a right to life. They have the right to be free from starvation, the right to be moved into a loving home at an early age, and the right to remain if they are entrenched in a colony. They have the right to be spayed or neutered, to protect the females from illness and malnutrition in giving birth, and to protect the males from injuries incurred in territorial fights. They cannot speak for themselves. We must be their voice !
