I am in a place in my life where I just want to do TNR and not take on longterm maintenance of any colonies or work longterm with socializing individual ferals. If they won't come around in a couple weeks, I need to re-release them. Anyway, without going into the details, that's how I am...

I'm currently trapping in a neighborhood with a lot of ferals/strays. The woman who feeds there gave me a list of the ones she THINKS "don't belong to anybody." The association who is generously funding all the s/n, testing, and vaccinating is gently adamant with me that "no owned pets be...

Today I had my first FIV+ feral and the vet strongly urged euthanasia. So we did. I'm trapping a colony for an acquaintance who puts food on her porch for the neighborhood's needy cats. I didn't know "Cow Cat." He was 4-5 years old, DLH b&w. A bb in his ear, abscesses behind one ear and on a...

Thank you all for the informative replies to my previous messages. I am so glad to not be flying blind anymore. I hope you'll offer some input on these questions too. I've moved from California to the midwest and this is my first winter with actual snow. I am used to trapping in totally dry...

We're below freezing out here right now and I put out 2 weatherproofed carriers lined with cardboard and straw. They've been out there for a couple months now and I don't ever see kitties using them, but i stuck my hand in one today and it smells like pee! Do I need to change their bedding or...

Greetings, I am new to this site and am relieved to find some support. I've been doing TNR for several years but have just moved to a new, not very supportive rural community. Anyway, does anyone else have a problem with catching the last one or two (females!) in a colony? I do. To me it seems...
