Housing Complexes Fighting Feral Cat Populations
One of the problems facing low income housing developments is the growth of feral cat colonies. They develop when people move out and leave their cats behind. The domesticated animals cluster with other cats and form a community that can diminish the community and the surrounding property values.
According to Wikipedia, the worst of the problems created by the feral cat colonies are Urine spraying to mark territory, digging in gardens and feces left by the cats, noise made by fighting and mating cats, predation upon wildlife, diseases transmissible to humans (zoonoses), and diseases transmissible to pets.
Large housing complexes, especially those in low-income areas, attract colonies for several reasons, according to Pricone-Recardo, Marlena DiBianco of the Meriden Humane Society and Lori Ratchelous of Friends of Cheshire Feral Cats. They say many cats become strays because their families cannot afford to take care of them or leave them behind because they cannot bring them when they move.
As these cats adjust to the wild, they pair with other cats and animal families. It takes only a few abandoned domestic pets to form a colony, but the real mistake humans make is not trying to care for them, said DiBianco, a rescuer who said she helped trap and treat more than 60 cats from August to November. via Newsday.com.
