Because of the complexity and likely failure of attempting to “socialize” a feral cat, in addition to the general consensus that these cats- completely unfamiliar with humans in any way other than seeing them throw out a merciful handful of whatever they happen to be eating while spotting the cat- truly “feral” cats cannot be adopted into homes as typical pets. If trapped or cornered, these cats will typically panic instantly, oftentimes causing harm to themselves in their attempt to escape a human. Community cats may fall into two categories: a “ stray” cat probably once lived indoors as a pet, and was then abandoned or given away “ free to a good home” to an irresponsible pet owner, but you can usually tell these cats are familiar with and even friendly to humans, as well as being more vocal than a cat defined as “ feral.” Feral cats are the other kind of Community Cat- still the same species as pet/domesticated cats, but are frightened of people and avoid human contact by all means necessary. Community cats are unowned or semi-owned cats that live their lives outdoors.
