How many feral cats would you estimate there are in Welland/the Niagara Region?
It is difficult to estimate the number of ferals because colonies can be widespread and often not easily visible unless they have become managed feral colonies with caretakers; also local humane societies have not been proactive in gathering statistics on the number of ferals they bring in to their shelters although we know that over 5000 cats are destroyed each year in shelters in Niagara and the vast majority of these are ferals; every community in Niagara has a feral cat problem numbering in countless thousands and the entire region would most certainly encompass hundreds of thousands
