There are a lot of feral cats around. How can I get rid of them permanently?

Getting rid of feral cats permanently requires a multi-faceted approach. You should start by providing an alternative source of food and shelter. This could discourage local cats from visiting your area, but it will not get rid of them permanently. Additionally, you can trap, neuter and release (TNR) feral cats. This may reduce the population in the long run, but will not eliminate them all. If those efforts do not work, you will need to contact local animal control experts who can evaluate the situation and provide recommendations. In some cases, they may also suggest exclusion and/or lethal controls.
