Animals
As you can imagine this is a cause very dear to our hearts.
Feral cats are not socialized to people. And therefore, they are not adoptable. Feral cats don’t belong indoors and are typically wary of us. However, as members of the domestic cat species (just like pet cats), they are protected under state anti-cruelty laws.
Feral cats should not be taken to pounds and shelters.
Feral cats’ needs are not met by the current animal control and shelter system, where animals who are not adoptable are killed. Feral cats live full, healthy lives outdoors—but are killed in shelters. Even no-kill shelters can’t place feral cats in homes. Learn more about the animal control system.
Feral kittens can be adopted. Feral kittens can often be adopted into homes, but they must be socialized at an early age. There is a crucial window, and if they aren’t handled in time, they will remain feral and therefore unadoptable. Learn more about kittens and socialization.

The story of how we came to be at ATCAD, when we were approximately 4 weeks old. There are a bunch of cats who live at a lawyers office cause it is next door to a restaurant. A nice lady that works there feeds us. She also pays to have us spayed and neutered and released. Our Mom cat was trapped, they released her because she had nursing kittens but she was so freaked out she ran away and left us to STARVE.
We were very sick when we came here we both had eye infections.
We are living in Fenris' dog crate. Mommy put a soft blanket in here for us and we had water and a litter box.
We mostly slept when we weren't eating.
But Mommy gave us toys to play with.
She also held us a lot and petted us. Yang got very sick and almost died from Coccidiosis. We are doing fine now, we are up to date on shots and we LOVE people. But we will never forget our family members that still live in a feral cat colony.
You can help our family get spayed and neutered by donating to Jackson County Spay and Neuter a 501C3 Non Profit and 100% Tax Deductible who provides a great service to the residents of Jackson County, MS.
