For more information on feral cats, view the Feral Cat factsheet. Contact the Alice Springs Animal Shelter (Ph 08 8953 4430) if your tabby has gone missing. Soft-catch leg-hold trapping, with or without olfactory lures, is used to capture feral cats however, by-catch may occur, including species of conservation concern. The cat was taken to the Alice Springs Animal Shelter to determine whether it is a roaming domestic cat or a feral cat. Feral cats are linked to fauna extinctions and declines globally through predation, disease transmission, and hybridisation.
The team have since had their first success with a Cat ( Felis catus) capture. It also raises the question: What won’t wallabies eat?! The wallabies were released and the Green Army team have since moved their traps to new locations. The wallabies highlight the need for feral cat trapping as a method of protecting our native fauna. They have had four occurrences of by-catch of Black-footed Rock Wallaby ( Petrogale lateralis), who were looking for a free feed of sardines. The team have been trialling a few trap locations within OPBG, with unexpected results.
Land for Wildlife provided the Olive Pink Botanic Garden (OPBG) Green Army team with trapping assistance via a training workshop earlier this month ( Read the workshop blog here).
