Hi, about 5 years ago several kittens were born behind the 24 market near my house. The store manager trapped the kittens and got them fixed. She decided to keep 2 as shop cats and the rest were adopted out thru the vet.3/12 or 4 years ago I noticed the cats in the fenced off field behind the store.The manager said it had not worked out having the cats and they were hoping the cats would just move on. I started feeding them every morning.One of the cats has been gone for about a year. The remaining cat ( I call her kitty girl, original, I know) never climbs the fenced area. In order to feed her I have to put food and water in short deli containers , watch for traffic in the parking lot (the only opening is in a curve of the parking lot) and lay down and slide my hand under the chain link fencing.
Thru the years I have asked the owner if I could please set up a feeding station with shelter in that huge field. They say no, they also will not let me trap her.
I am noticing she has fleas so, I was wondering if anyone has ever used Capstar for their feral cats? I can hide it in her food but am worried about what in the world I would do if she had bad side effects. There is no way at all for me to get to her if that happens.
Thanks for any advice. I never really talk about her because her situation just breaks my heart, that is kind of a barren field and I hate to think of her trapped there. I always hope that she may secretly climb the fencing on the other side of the store ( I can't get to that side) and visit some nice homeowner in the neighborhood who perhaps has shelter for her there.
