    It could take a month of feeding under a drop trap before you get results. If you ONLY feed all the cats under the drop trap. Eventually you will succeed.

    Neighbors cat is slowly starving to death.

    Here's a trick I learned while trapping in New Orleans after Katrina. It's best to have someone to help you if you are using a carrier, but this can be done by yourself. Try practicing with one of your friendly cats so you feel comfortable doing this. Have a carrier ready. If it's a top...

    how to catch the feral cat

    She might want to try using a drop trap. Go to The website for Alley Cat Allies where they have pictures and directions on how to use one. She would have to feed all the cats under it for several days and then trip the trap. She will be able to let the already fixed cats go and use the 'door' so...

    Cat under house!

    See if Animal Control, Humane Society or SPCA will loan you a trap.  It should be hungry enough to go into it. Newt

    Giving foster cat a new home

    I think what you are doing is wonderful!  Not knowing the situation at the new home for Zorro, I can't say which is the best way to proceed as I don't know if they have other cats, a dog, both, kids, etc.  I would suggest you do a google search with terms such as: rehoming a cat rehoming a cat...

    Meet Gator

    He's gorgeous! Sadly, black dogs suffer the same fate as black cats. He has some eye-catching qualities with that lovely fur, so that will help him out. I hope they keep him as an indoor only cat. We had a black cat for 18 years. He had one white whisker. That's a wonderful thing you did...
