Moderators, please move if this is not right area to post.
There is a situation in NoVa. Leesburg area. I am cross posting the
plea for any assistance that I got. Feeders who will feed on rotation, volunteers of all stripes including people who can give a barn home to one or two or more of these kitties - and/or trapping assistance = can use it all...
Raspberry Falls up in Leesburg VA area (north of on Rt 15).
A lady had been feeding mama cats all summer long, letting them procreate, and just now called me to see if we could trap and spay/neuter. There are now about 20 or so cats out there, and the worst part?
She's moving to India on Tuesday.
She has made absolutely no provisions for the care of these cats, most of
whom are 4 month old kittens who aren't that skilled at hunting.
UNBELIEVABLE. They will slowly starve.
Anyway, I need everyone's help- if you can cross post widely I need barn
homes ASAP. These kittens were dependent on her for food and now it is
going to be a free for all. It is also out in a country club and golf
course, so those folks have a tendency to look unkindly on ferals. There is
certainly no long term solution for this, so they must be relocated. One of
them has an old injury on her back leg, and she for SURE will not be able to
hunt for a living.
Please ask around for spots for a couple of barn cats, or see if anyone has
room for a couple of back yard pets. PLEASE. I will drive them wherever
they need to go and they will be spayed and neutered, of course.
Thank you,
