The truth is that for every one feral cat that you see in Metro Atlanta, there are six to nine that you don't. These are abandoned, sick, helpless animals that some call feral, some call someone else's cat, and some (especially business owners) call them a nuisance.
Cat rescuers like Krazy About Kats volunteers work tirelessly to trap, vaccinate, spay/neuter, and place these otherwise unseen animals in good homes. All of this volunteer work is completed with limited resources and overwhelming odds.

This is an advocacy organization for feral cat colonies to TNR (trap/neuter and return). Feral cats consist of the off-spring of domestic cats born in the wild--not having had contact with humans as kittens they generally are not very tamable as adults and 70% of the time are killed when brought to a shelter. The solution is to neuter and give basic vaccines and let them live out their lives in their original, now controlled, habitat.
