Hello, I am totally a newbie on here. My husband and I bought our house and not long after we moved in I noticed a few skinny cats around. I can not stand to see any animal go hungry so I started to feed them. Shortly after that, the neighbors started to introduce themselves and tell me they noticed that I was feeding the cats...They were happy I was feeding them. We live in a cul de sac so about 6 neighbors. A few months passed and I was outside doing yard work when one of the neighbors started talking to me again. She proceeded to tell me that years ago there was a man who lived one street over who had 50 cats and he died. The cats were all released into the neighborhood. She told me that some of the neighbors were involved in the TNR program but there were some cats around that had grown up without spay/neuter. As I got to know the cats I was feeding I could see that they were clipped on their left ears. I was happy. Then I noticed 2 males that were not neutered. It has been a difficult time to trap these two cats. Long story short, today I trapped one of the cats. He was in bad shape and I have been trying to trap him for 4 months. I knew he was injured but didn't know how it happened. Today he was neutered, received his rabies shot, antibotics shot, another shot for ear mites (that was the problem with him- bad shape). I was told that the shot would last 3 months. He is also positive for Feline Aids He needs a week to recover so I have made a cat condo for him to recuperate in and have him in a quiet, dry place to do so. He only came close to me in the last few months because he was in such bad shape and he knew I would feed him. I have about 8 ferals every day now who show up like clock work for food/water. I have made shelters for them as well in my yard for colder weather. My question is cat health. What can I do to help keep them healthy in summer with tick, fleas, ear mites? I have researched and found that some people use Capstar, dewormer, and injectable ivermectin, all because these products can be used on feral by adding to their food. I would love to hear comments or suggestions on anything I can do moving forward. I have the one male left to neuter but now I have to wait for the clinics to open because of Covid and today was an exception because of the injuries to the cat. Thanking anyone in advance who can point me in the right direction
