Garden Cats Project: Could you give a home to a pair of inbetweener cats?

Inbetweener cats exist somewhere on the spectrum between domestic and feral cats.

Truly feral cats are essentially wild animals who will seek to avoid any human interaction, whereas fully domestic cats have experienced positive interactions with humans before they are 8 weeks old, and are consequently what is termed as ‘socialised’ - meaning they enjoy being stroked and sitting on laps etc.

Inbetweener cats usually live outdoors, and are comfortable residing in proximity to humans. Many are regularly fed by people and will form a bond of trust with their feeders, but will usually shy away from being touched.
