Our "Feral" cats

We personally feed 3 "feral" cat colonies with about 30 cats in total. We spay/neuter and vaccinate them. We release any that are not a good fit for adoption. We try to rescue any new kittens and place them in foster care until they can be adopted into a loving family. We work with many local rescue organizations including Suncoast Animal Rescue.
