Feral cats prey on Australia's unique native wildlife (including many
threatened species) and are associated with the spread of diseases that affect humans and livestock.
FeralCatScan is a free resource for landholders, community groups, pest control professionals, and
biosecurity organisations.
It can be used to help map were you see feral cats, record impacts (such
as
predation of native species) or other problems they cause, and document where control has
been undertaken. Information you upload can help with humane, justified and effective management of feral cat
populations.
