Feral Cats
Feral Cat Control – Protecting Biodiversity Through Ethical Management
The Threat Posed by Feral Cats
Feral cats (Felis catus) are domestic cats that have become completely wild, independent from humans, and highly effective hunters. Unlike stray or abandoned pets, feral cats:
-
Live and breed in the wild, often in remote or inaccessible terrain
-
Are nearly impossible to domesticate
-
Pose a major threat to over 100 native species, many of which are endangered
Feral cats are responsible for:
-
Killing millions of native animals every day across Australia
-
Predation on birds, reptiles, frogs, and small mammals
-
Spreading diseases such as toxoplasmosis and sarcosporidiosis
-
Undermining conservation and rewilding efforts
AEVPMS Feral Cat Management Program
Our team uses a science-driven, ethical, and targeted approach to feral cat control. Every site receives a tailored Pest Management Plan (PMP) that considers habitat type, seasonal behaviour, and the presence of sensitive non-target species.
Our methods include:
-
Ground shooting using thermal optics and suppressors for silent, accurate targeting
-
Camera trap networks and motion-triggered monitoring
-
Live trapping with non-lethal detection tools, where appropriate
-
Data capture and mapping to support long-term control strategies
-
Integration with fox and wild dog control to maximise ecological outcomes
All work is performed under full compliance with ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, and pestSMART humane control frameworks.
