A well established feral cat colony

Located in the southern Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia, the Payne Colony Cats live in a real feral cat colony. With around 28 cats, the colony has been established for at least sixty years and is one of the oldest colonies in the southeast United States.

Located on a small family farm, the Payne cats have comfortable shelters in the hay barns, a fast-running creek with clean water, and plenty to eat. They are blessed with with hundreds of acres of woods and pastures for hunting, plus a good, warm home.

Many feral cats in other locations are mistreated, homeless, and starving. If you want to learn about feral cats and how to help them, then read my post What is a Feral Cat Colony? It answers a lot of questions and provides a list of the best resources.

Cat Tales or cat tails?

The Payne Colony Cats website is about the feral cats. Photos, drawings, videos, and stories tell the tales of fascinating felines that have lived several lives. You will meet Scrapper, Snowball, and dozens more. Many of the stories are autobiographical and some are not. The cats write about whatever suits their fancy.

If you want to know more about feral cats and feral cat colonies, this is the website for you. Topics include everything from the importance of cat socialization to the advantages of TNR programs, but mostly the cats talk about themselves, their friends, their histories, and their dreams.
