Meet the Feral Cats of Disneyland

Jordana Weiss | September 16, 2015

Feeding Time

There are some discrete feeding stations around the park, and the food is refilled every day by the Circle D Ranch staff. The Ranch staff also make sure the cats are healthy and happy, and will bring a cat in for treatment if it seems sick. Even though they are given some food, the cats are encouraged to hunt mice at night instead of relying on the park staff to feed them. The program only really works when the cats are feral — having to feed and amuse 200 cats every day would just get to be too ridiculous!

Any time workers notice a cat becoming too friendly with visitors, or reliant on the food stations, they are taken to an agency to be adopted into a new home. New kittens that happen to be born on Disneyland property are also adopted, to try and keep the population low.
