Conservation Actions Underway Following the
cat eradication programme, Ascension is maintained free
of feral cats by enforcing a strict sterilisation regulation for all domestic
cats, and by severely
limiting the
number of domestic
cats that can be brought to the island, which are regulated through a
cat registration database.
(The plan does not specify the
number of free - ranging
cats in D.C., but Giacoppo admits that the data is
limited: «It's nearly impossible to identify every
feral cat out there.»)
