OCRACATS operate on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina which was badly affected badly by Hurricane Dorian as is swept up the coast of North Carolina. It had petered out to a certain extent but it was still capable of causing a 5-6 surge of water which flooded the island.

It shows the resilience of feral cats. I don’t know how they survived a 5-6 foot bank of water washing over this thin sliver of land off the North Carolina coast but they did. Perhaps they got to high ground.

They are back for food and this seems to be a family of siblings and perhaps a parent as they are all seem to solid orange-and-whites. OCRACATS operate TNR on the island. They have a Facebook page.
