Our Mission

For The Love Of A Cat’s mission is to reduce the existing feral population in Lincoln County and to prevent the explosive feline growth that can ensue, absent human intervention. Our organization provides for humane trapping, spay/neuter services, ongoing care and feeding of existing colonies, as well as placement in good homes for adoptable animals. We do not support or contribute to any forms of animal testing, exploitation or abuse.

Stray vs. Feral Cat

A stray cat is a pet cat who is lost or abandoned. Feral cats are the offspring of lost or abandoned pet cats or other feral cats who are not spayed or neutered. Stray cats are accustomed to contact with people and are tame, but feral cats are not accustomed to contact with people and are typically too fearful and wild to be handled. Whereas stray cats may be reunited with their families or adopted into new homes, feral cats do not easily adapt or may never adapt to living as pets in close contact with people. However, there are many things you can do to help improve the health and quality of life of feral cats.
