We receive calls daily from residents of every city in Volusia County asking if we will come pick up the feral cats in their neighborhood. Halifax Humane Society does not, nor are we authorized to, pick up feral cats. The proper course of action is to contact your local animal control agency or the police department, which will connect you with animal control. They are the agency authorized to deal with feral cats. Another organization, CCFAW.org (Concerned Citizens for Animal Welfare) will also coordinate the trap, neuter, return (TNR) of feral cats in certain areas. HHS performs the spay/neuter surgeries for the cats but does not participate in trapping or transport.
