Feral Cats

Essex Cat Centre

We are often seeking alternative-type homes for cats with limited socialisation who would prefer a more hands-off type home. This could be a farm, stableyard, workshop or other rural set up.

Feral and outdoor living cats can live happily in the great outdoors as long as they have what they need, especially food, water and shelter.

To have a rural cat, you’ll need to be able to provide them with suitable shelter that isn’t your home (as they often won’t want to come close to where people are). This could be a barn, outbuilding, stable, shed, garage or anywhere where they have privacy and easy access. Their shelter also needs to be dry and clean. You can even build one yourself. Find out how to build an outdoor cat shelter.

While outdoor cats will mostly take care of themselves, you should still provide them with clean water and food. You should also keep an eye on their health to make sure nothing is wrong with them and take them to the vet when necessary.

If you think you could offer this type of home to a cat or pair of cats, please get in contact! These cats could be of any colour, sex or age depending on what type of cat is most in need of relocating at the time, our team would be happy to discuss with you if you're interested. All cats will be neutered, vaccinated and treated for fleas and worms before relocation.
