Humane Society Needs Food for Feral Cats
The Humane Society of Forsyth County No-Kill Shelter urgently requests donations of cat food to support the organization’s Feral Cat Program. Both canned and dry food are needed, preferably the better-known brand names which are healthier for the cats. It doesn’t have to be the most expensive brand – just not the bargain cat food that tends to upset their digestive systems.
The aim of the Feral Cat Program is to set up feeding stations which attract feral cats, humanely trap them, and have them spayed or neutered. The program helps prevent pet overpopulation and provides a great service to the community.
Cats and kittens from the Feral Cat program may be seen daily at Petco mentioned above
Please help these cats by donating as much canned and dry cat food as you can. Donations may be dropped off at Lance’s Jewelry (1705 Market Place Blvd, Cumming 30041) Mon-Fri 10 a.m. to 5 p m. from now until March 6, 2010. For more information, call 678-200-3226.

You are probably wondering what happened to the other 529 cats who were not adopted into homes. The answer is probably some of these did get into homes instead of having to remain outside and be homeless. We have records for 228 cats adopted into homes, but the number is potentially much higher. The people who feed them, known as caregivers, received assistance with sterilizing the cats and as a result of the cats getting fixed, might have brought them inside or found other homes for them.
Many times these “feral” cats become friendly with the caregiver and decide to come inside after they trust the person. In addition, many cats we help are actually abandoned stray cats who wind up outside through no fault of their own. The cats that are friendly are the ones we put up for adoption and work hard to find them loving homes.
The other truly feral cats are not happy being inside. They prefer to live in their cat colony or environment where they exist. Attached is one such colony who is provided food daily from our Cat Colony Feeding Station Teams. The other pictures are at another feeding station using a feral cat feeder volunteers built.
The 51 cats could not remain where they were living or they would have been killed, so people who had barns agreed to take them and let them live there.
