Thank you so much, Vicki, I know this is a hard job, not only physically but emotionally. But at least they will have their lives, and won't keep adding to the population explosion! You're so good to do this for them, and I'm glad you have a TNR program there. I hope you can somehow get a hold of the Mom, then she can have a life, too, without the physical burden of kittens all the time. I know a place I refuse to name, where they had a feral problem, and just started rounding up and shooting. Lord help anyone's cat who got out accidentally that day. Human beings are the most cruel, vicious creatures on the earth sometimes, wonder how they can sleep at night? Thanks for all you do for the little ones. Wish I were closer, I'd help. Hugs and love, Marji
33451Wow, Vicki, what a great task before you! She is quite fertile too! I hope you get a break on the spaying cost! I never ever see a feral cat here, but we do have foxes and owls. Some friends found an "abandoned" litter of 7 kittens and ended up adopting the whole littler! Oh, I do hope you can catch them all! Prayers for success! Thank you so very much for doing this! Hugs, and Meows, Jan
59617I hope by now they have all been rounded up. But I know it's a never ending job,there is always just one more. Thank you for doing this for the kitties

67271I love animals also, but I had to call Animal Control to pick up my little black garage kitty. I was good to him all summer and fed him and tried to make him a pet but he beat up on all the neighborhood cats and my neighbors stated to complain and I had a hard time going out side and coming back in as he would tty to claw me because he wanted attention. I had my foot and leg clawed up more than once. It is very hard to tame a wild cat. My friend at the vets office has been feeding one for 10 yrs and has never picked him up. I don't have that much patience. Kay
85867I've had very good luck with sardines. Cats or dogs are very attracted to that smell. Someone told me I couldn't make friends with a local cat and all I did was pop a can of sardines and we were fast friends. Good luck catching the mamma cat. Our son just had their third rescue cat neutered.
89895i love you so much for this. i used to do this at the house down the dirt road from me. the people kept feeding and letting them have babies,then moved!!!!! so i stepped in and caught a bunch of them for this program. thanks bunches! lynne
5165A can of Tuna may work...always worked for our feral kitties -- even the Huge Tom cats.
Hugs to you for all your work.
57620Best wishes to you and the cats. PM sdrise (Suzanne). She knows all there is about TNR and can give you some tips. Blessings to you for going the extra mile for these creatures.
168914oh, I can imagine all the hassle you are having, but also the fun of those little friends walking around and making noise. I know you will do a great job. If I lived closer to you I'd probably came over to have a look.
Take care of them !

They are so pretty!! I wish we had room in the house to take them in, but with 6 rescues inside already, we would be considered borderline hoaders...LOL!
146731Thomas Jefferson said, I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. Seems to me you have done the hard work, so I'm wishing you SUCCESS! Thank you for what you do. I truly appreciate it.

In fact the first one we caught had a wound on her leg, and it had abscessed, so we paid extra for her to get a 2 week slow release antibiotic injection......

If I did that, they would be considered unadoptable and put down, due to the fact they are feral......this way it gives them the chance to have a life......we have cat houses around our property with straw in them for the kitties to live in or shelter in......we also have 3 feeding stations......it is a lot of work, but very rewarding!
