I TNR in my mountain community. Last year I was contacted by a woman to trap some ferals she had been caring for living under her porch stairs. 3 adults and a litter of 3 kittens.
In Dec the woman passed away and I cared for the cats twice at the request of her partner when she was going to be away. She then called me for help in removing the cats and I convinced her not to do so. Recently I called to hear how things were working out and never heard back. I drove by her house and stopped when I saw her car. She was in her garage getting ready to leave when I asked how she was doing in general and did she need help with the cats, a few that were in the vicinity. She said she was in a rush, had to leave but would call me towards the end of the week. That was 2 weeks ago. I noticed there was no cat food in the garage where it always was stored and the feeding bowls I had given her were stored atop a box, unused.
I am sure she does not want the cats around and is not feeding them and obviously does not want to work on a solution with me. I want to reapproach her and am looking for advice on how to proceed without being seen as an annoyance.
Thank you.
