If they can be caught for this program, at least then they won't produce more feral cats. I hope they can be caught!

It is the most effective and humane way to deal with the feral cat problem. <br /><br />I have been volunteering with a TNR group here in our town for over two years. In the past three years our group has spayed/neutered about 3,000 cats. We know we are making a difference since our local shelter is seeing less cats. Also the local animal control is getting a lot less calls about cat problems. <br /><br />Fortunately our group works closely with the local vets so the vet techs in our area would refer someone to our program. <br /><br />Good luck!SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-68827013615937607752013-06-26T21:18:08.594-07:002013-06-26T21:18:08.594-07:00Oh wow, I'm living with feral cats too -- I ha...Oh wow, I'm living with feral cats too -- I have my eight!!

They humanely trap and spayed and neuter them and find homes. I am apalled a vet would tell you to blow them off! UGH! But if you can catch momma too she could find a good home! Visit Lorna, she is the "Cat Lady" Queen"! SO kind and helpful with these lost pets. Best of luck with your endeavor!

We tried to keep her on our lanai with our other cats, but she was just so skittish. (Mostly of the humans, not so much of my cats) Her story did not end so well, but I'm hoping yours will. <br />Trapping her was not as hard as I thought it would be....but you have a few more.
