Feral cats are a growing issue in the United States. Conservationists argue that feral cats contribute greatly to the population reduction of songbirds and other endangered birds, with estimates that bird loss is at 100 million a year due to predation.
The Feral Cat Coalition estimates that there are over 60 million stray cats in the United States. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates there are an additional 5 million domestic cats abandoned annually.
