It is my goal to take him, but I can't drop everything and drive three hours at this moment.  I have people coming from out of the country who cannot be reached or I would be on my way to the vet already.

Before I start this question let me just say, it is a holiday weekend, I live in the middle of nowhere, and I have already called all the 'emergency vets' in the area.  There is only one available...three hours away...and I have a houseful of company showing up from out of the country in a few...

No...the Humane Society here is again, over an hour away and because I am not in their county, I do not qualify for discounted anything!!  NOTHING!!  And they will not lend me traps.  I am already driving almost two hours to have her spayed and shots for $150.00.  DRIVING is not the issue.  The...

Yes I have a large carrier.  That is exactly what I have been saying.  I am going to use that to trap her.  That is exactly how I trapped the other stray cat who was so skittish and would run away from me all the time.  All I did was put food in there, and when she stepped in to eat it, I closed...

Nope.  Regular vet retired.  And NOPE!!  They didn't have any traps, neither do the new ones, neither does anyone in the surround local radius.  I have tried everything.  Seriously.  I don't know where you live, but I live in a very small town surrounded by small towns.  Minneapolis is over an...

Shadow Rescue - Thanks for the heads up but I don't have $45.00 to be spending on one cat, either.  I guess I will stick to my carrying case 'trap.'   I will try it my way and really $45.00 is even too much considering I will probably not be using it again as I have never needed one before.  It...

Lo and behold!  She was back this morning!  I can't even believe it!!  It's been over a week...10.5 days to be exact.  I was sure I would find her dead someplace on the side of the road.  And this morning, I opened up the door, and she was huddled in front of the door looking in.  When she saw...

Sorry to hear that Angelina.  And indeed, that is my worst nightmare.  Sometimes, if I don't see one of the strays I feed for a while, I start to worry.  We have a highway about 6 blocks from my house.  I see cats hit out there on the road all the time.  Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you for saying so, but I can't believe how stupid I was not to be prepared.  It just never occurred to me.  Like I said, she was not to the point where she would stay put if I came outside, but she never did anything like that.  I have looked for her around the neighborhood, but...

I have been feeding (and catching/spaying/neutering) stray cats around my home for about 3 years now.  About two months ago, a new little stray showed up.  I would guess less than 6 months old.  She is tame enough that whenever I open the door, she tries to come in, but not tame enough that she...
