    Feeding Ferals Cats Chicken Gizzards Or Leg Quarters ??

    Hmm, that is pretty cheap kitty food. I was in Walmart tonight and the cheapest cans I saw were 8 oz. for $1.75 each. I will have to investigate further, and I suppose Sam's Club and Costco have it for even cheaper?

    Feeding Ferals Cats Chicken Gizzards Or Leg Quarters ??

    Cat food is the most obvious choice and most nutritious, but to be blunt I really don't wanna spend a lot of money per month on cat food. I know that sounds harsh but I feel like I'm helping these feral kitties out a lot by just tossing them a couple cheap hot dogs every day, and don't wanna...

    Feeding Ferals Cats Chicken Gizzards Or Leg Quarters ??

    I have a couple feral cats who visit my back porch about 2-3X a week for the past couple years. I've been feeding them almost exclusively cheap hot dogs and some occasional meat scraps of whatever I ate the night before. They are not finicky felines and seem to eat the cheapo hot dogs with...

    A Feral Named, Dongsook

    Holy schnikes --- this place would be a TNR vet's wet dream!

    A Feral Named, Dongsook

    Japanese culture seems to have a special reverance for felines --- don't they have an island that is full of 1000's of stray cats?

    Need Help To Trap Stray Mother Cat + Kittens In Hole

    PLEASE HURRY !! I'm not a cat expert but if you live in an area where coyotes and foxes live then these kittens will attract predators with their scent. I've seen too much heartbreaking night-time security camera footage on YouTube of someone's dog or cat becoming a quick meal for some hungry...

    Best Way To Capture And Handle Feral Cat ??

    Based on your profile pic, I'd say my cat is the exact same breed. My feral cat is a very sweet creature. It never hisses at me or scratches at the door. Just patiently waits for a tasty snack! I'd like to train it to sit on my lap when I go on the porch for my evening beer but I get the...

    Best Way To Capture And Handle Feral Cat ??

    Yeah $10 is a very reasonable cost. I seem to remember my vet quoting me $300 to neuter my beagle about 15 years ago. I never did it because it was too pricey.

    I will check out some YouTube videos. I'm sure there is a good technique for trapping a wild kitty without getting bitten. What breed of cat is your profile pic? My cat looks just like it.

    Best Way To Capture And Handle Feral Cat ??

    I hate to come across as aloof but I just do NOT wanna get attacked and bitten by this kitty. I'm a calm and reasonable person but if this cat attacks me I will be in a really sour mood LOL. My friend got bit by his cat about 10 years ago and his hand swoled up to the size of a grapefruit and...

    Best Way To Capture And Handle Feral Cat ??

    Hmm well fixing a cat for free sounds good to me. I found a couple TNR centers about 25 min. from me but the problem is that I don't have a car right now. Don't these animal shelters usually hire college kids to work in the summer -- maybe one of them can come to my house and capture the kitty?

    Best Way To Capture And Handle Feral Cat ??

    Wow, this is getting complex! Not sure I wanna commit to a spay/nueter job. And why does a vet care if a cat is feral or not? They have ethics to treat all animals -- wild or domestic?

    What does a kitty trap look like? Same as a standard cat carrier? Not sure I wanna get this involved with a wild cat. Doesn't spay/nuetering cost around $300?

    Best Way To Capture And Handle Feral Cat ??

    Hi all. New to the board. I have a small feral black cat who's been visiting my back porch for about the last year and a half. It's all jet black from head to tip of tail without any spots and I think it's a Bombay breed but not sure. At first, I showed no interest in having a stray cat...
