Well, a stray or outdoor cat is a cat that you see in your neighborhood that is friendly and enjoys human contact. ACCS encourages people to keep their owned cats indoors to protect them from disease, animal bites, dangers from cars, and animal cruelty.
Indoor cats live three times as long as outdoor cats.
ACCS believes all pet cats should be spayed or neutered to help control the overpopulation problem that exists today. If you're going to let your cat outside, make sure it is microchipped or wearing identification. A feral cat is a cat that has had little or no human contact during its natural life. You see them outdoors struggling to find food, using all their energy to stay warm and safe. Many people consider feral cats to be nuisances because they exhibit annoying behaviors such as marking their territory, howling at night, fighting and destroying your personal property.
