Ritz, It is so appalling that people dump and abandon pets. A month ago a gorgeous black cat showed up at the colony. He was definetly a pet at one time, as he came right over to me. He talked to me and let me pet him. He had an injury to his paw as well. This injury was on the front of his paw...

i cant get too close. I see no blood but can't get a look to see the bottom of the paw. He is eating and drinking and sleeping a lot. He is the oldest cat at the colony and always looks after the young ones. I am so happy to say, they seem to be guarding him. I was a bit surprised to see that...

I think just a strain. I hope so anyway. Talked to a colony caretaker whose colony is close to mine. 3 minute car ride. We seem to share cats! He saw him the days he was missing from my area. He was limping then. He actually feeds on a fire escape! So I'm thinking if OldMan can make it between...

I care for a colony of 15.  All but 1 wiley Tom have been TNR.  One of my older cats, Old Man was gone for a couple days, came back yesterday and I noticed he is limping.  He is trying to not put any weight on his front paw.  I tried for hours and hours today to trap him, since I actually found...

They are simply amazing aren't they?  So resilient and resourceful.  I see tracks near a couple of my shelters, and one they took lid off and lay in during the day when the sun is hitting it! (My colony is under a loading dock at my job)

I am not sure about the SPCA but will find out today.  I figured the dynamics would change in the colony, and I guess I am a little sad about it.  There are still 3 or 4 I have not seen again.  Am hoping they will turn up, just so I know they are ok. There was only 1 young one I didn't get...

I know what you mean about the cost, the clinic I used was $40 per cat for spay/neuter distemper and rabies vaccine.  I actually raised almost all of the money through asking people for donations. I see in other states that they have mobile clinics or even free clinics.  I live 20 miles north of...

I started a new job last April and found there was a colony of cats living here. I started feeding them, and then I started noticing kittens. I knew nothing about feral cats when I started, although I have always loved cats.  My mother tells me it happened that very first time I saw one as a...

I generally only feed in daylight, but if there is still dry food in the bowls, I don't take it away.  I just went out and I did see 5 of them and 2 were ones I had not seen prior and was concerned about, especially since the 2 were ones that come out in open easily. Very relieved I saw them. ...

I was wondering if anyone out there could help me.  I had 10 cats returned on Monday and 2 cats returned on Wednesday.  The weather here in PA has been pretty crappy all week, rainy, foggy, cloudy.  BUT I am getting concerned that I have not seen some of the cats since they were released on...

I have a question related to this thread. I rescued a feral kitten from the colony I care for on Black Friday, He was taken to vet and given a dewormer, of course I don't have the name with me.  I just had him back to the vet and his sample tested positive for round worm. She dosed him again...

I help ferals, I care for a colony that I just completed TNR on, and I am going to begin volunteering with Forgotten Cats.  My goal is to educate my community on feral cats and to initiate TNR in the area.

I just wanted to get an update out on this.  Finally got together with Forgotten Cats (they are so busy).  Last week-end the trapper & I successfully trapped 10 cats! I then trapped 3 more on Monday and had 13 cats in clinic this week for spay/neuter & vaccines!  got 10 returned last night and...

It is against the door. There is a small cubby there, and we have.always had a letterbox there, since its.an out of the way spot.

Haven't done the feeding on both sides of door, since there is an enclosed litter box there, and I thought moving their litter box may cause problems.
