About the Toronto Feral Cat Project
The Toronto Feral Cat Project (Project) is an initiative that seeks to address the feline overpopulation problem in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). If you are interested in participating, contact deborah@feraltoronto.com
Our Objectives:
- Implement the Toronto Feral Cat Survey in order to:
- Map feral colonies in the GTA 1
- Provide accurate information on the GTA's feral cat population that can be used to advocate on behalf of ferals and promote their humane care and control
- Show progress made in stabilizing and reducing feral cat populations
- Build strategies to address the feral cat problem:
- Formulate best practices for managing feral cat colonies and practising Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
- Encourage the collaboration of animal rescue groups and local government in developing and implementing TNR programs
- Pioneer public education and outreach programs that will lead to a better understanding of feral cats and the adoption of TNR as a humane and effective method for controlling the feral cat population
