Definition of «community cats»

The term "community cats" refers to feral or stray domesticated cats that live in a community, such as in an urban area. These cats are not socialized with humans and often live in colonies or groups. They may be fed by people who care for them but do not attempt to domesticate them. Community cats can have varying degrees of interaction with humans, from completely wild and unapproachable to friendly enough to accept food from a nearby source. The goal of community cat programs is often TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), which involves trapping the cats, neutering or spaying them, vaccinating them against rabies, and then returning them to their outdoor homes where they are fed by caretakers.
