Second Chance Sanctuary -Brighton Beach, Durban
An often misunderstood fact is that the feral cat is not a wild animal able to care for and maintain itself in a healthy state. All cats are domestic animals and dependent entirely on humans to meet their needs. The feral cat has become so because it has been at some stage abandoned and must seek out some sort of food source in order to survive. Quite opposite to general belief, being a domestic animal, they are unable to ‘catch’ enough food in the way of rodents and insects to survive in any healthy state. As a result, the average life-span of a feral cat without assistance is between twelve and eighteen months. Ninety percent of all feral kittens die before reaching maturity.
