The project will focus on spaying and neutering 200 feral cats outside Colorado Springs city limits. The operation will primarily focus on the 80908, 80911, 80915, 80917, 80926 and 80831 zip codes.The term feral (or wild) cat refers to cats living in an outdoor colony with multiple other cats and very little human interaction. Some people refer to them as alley cats. ìFeral cats are a man-made problem,î said Lauri Cross, executive director of Wild Blue. ìThe problem begins with irresponsible cat guardians who for one reason or the other dump their intact pet cats outside to roam around breeding and creating more cats.î
