I'm just getting my feet wet in the world of caring for ferals. I've volunteered to help manage an existing colony of about 20 ferals. They've already been neutered.
The question I have is about whether it is possible to add a new feral or two to an existing colony. One of the things I had hoped for was that if I ran across a feral or two at some other location that I could get it/them neutered and then release them into the colony I'm helping to manage. But the people who currently manage the colony says it doesn't work to add a newcomer to a colony, that the existing ones will chase it off. Does this jibe with what you guys have experienced?
