Living in Shadows: How to Help the Stray Cat in Your Life (without adding to the problem) is a step-by-step guide to the care of stray and feral cats. Today there are millions of homeless cats in our neighborhoods--captivating creatures that look exactly like our housecats, and are as deserving of our love and care as treasured family pets.

Here is everything you need to know to give your stray or feral cat a quality life, including how to care for, feed, and control the cat population by humanely trapping to spay or neuter. Also includes detailed information about taming feral cats and kittens, managing more than one stray, and caring for orphaned kittens. Contains photographs and a comprehensive Resource Guide to organizations, products, and information.
