Free roaming cats instinctively kill small animals
Each year free-roaming and feral cats kill millions of birds in the US. One controversial solution to deal with the feral cat problem is trap, neuter and release.
However, evidence is growing that this method is not eliminating the cat colonies or the predation of birds and other wildlife.
There are other problems created by feral cats as well including threats to human health, and public nuisance issues.

This video from the American Bird Conservancy explores the impact of free roaming and feral cats on the songbird population, and discusses the trap, neuter and release program for feral cats.

Cat deterents do not work, free roaming cats find another way around it. If you have issues with cats on your property I suggest you purchase a havahart trap it. after you have trapped the cat take it to the humane society, Protect your investments. it is legal to trap cats on your own property.
