This is my first experience with TNR so please bear with me and forgive my ignorance...
When I was walking around my neighborhood yesterday, I saw a small (guessing about 8 lbs) chestnut-colored cat, sitting in a crouched position. Upon seeing me, the cat darted away, at which point I could tell that he was a whole male. Based on the quickness of his escape and the fact that he had not been neutered, I'm assuming he is feral. I contacted my local TNR group, and was told to try to feed him. I searched around my neighborhood again just now, but he was nowhere to be found. Do you have any tips for how to try to find him again? How should I attempt to approach him if I do see him? I desperately hope to be able to help TNR him, as it saddens me to think that he is going around impregnating females, and contributing to shelters filling up with more and more kittens.
Thanks so much for any advice!!
