If I do ever manage to convince my grandfather to let me do TNR, breaking through the protests of 'they're not his cats!' - I have a quick question.
Most of the TNR/low cost spay/neuter programs I've found in the area have a qualifier - you have to make less than X a year.
I'm very lucky in the fact that I make enough money to have bought my own house/have a running car/can pay for the cats I have/etc/etc. However - being that I do livie on a single income, am renovating a hundred year old house, aready have twelve cats, etc, etc - I don't have enough of my own money to be able to TNR every cat I come across.
So if anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it. I'm hesitant to call up the resources I have found in my area as I don't want to get lectured with the "if you cared enough you'd find a way/there are many people in worse situations than you/how can you make so much money and not find it in your heart to pay out of your own pocket" speech. I live in the Lansing, Michigan area.
