Hi,
I was unfortunately involuntarily made into a colony keeper. It started with one litter that I fixed and then decided to build a cathouse for. I kept one with a broken leg and then two females only came to eat daily. The two males and one red male stayed and lived in the house for 4 years. OK, no problem. Little by little more have come and ate (after fixed, of course), and I now have one stray, a kitten, the one with the leg that was broken (nursed back 100%) and my first rescue. I have four indoors. I now feed about 15 outdoor, 6 of which have stayed (the last 3 in the past year). I do not want any more ferals to come or stay. I have two feeders on my small block. Any suggestions? How did this ever happen? I am so exhausted, broke and wish I could reverse all I've done. I cannot keep up. This week alone a kitten and two adults showed up. I have been trying to catch a mother (She slipped out of drop trap) so that no more kittens will be born, but even if I get them, more keep coming! Please help.
