A group of us feed a well established, small feral cat colony, in three separate places, all within walking distance. As a treat and to supplement canned cat food, I add about one or two ounces of chopped up cooked meat and homemade bone broth to the canned cat food. I am concerned the meat could spoil and make the cats ill. Should we continue giving them the cooked meat and bone broth during the hot weather?
The other issue is that there are LOTS of vultures who scare away the cats--so that delays the time the cats would eat the meat + bone broth. Sometimes forever--the vultures get to the food first. The vultures pull out the bowls of food and eat it, including the dried cat food.
The colony is in an area that is normally off limits to everyone (except the guards and us caretakers), and as such, we are limited in what type of protective shelters we can erect. Thanks.
