My orange feral boy went missing a while back, and I saw a flash of orange not far away today behind a fence where I'd been told some cats were hanging out, and noticed the fence was open, so went to have a poke around.
There was 2 kitties there, including the orange cat, but unfortunately he wasn't mine
There was some industrial looking buildings there though, so I went to talk to the people there. One of the buildings was full of motorbikes, and there was 2 blokes at the back having a beer, and I thought "this will be interesting". The guys said to me "I'm guessing you're lost?". So I gave him my biggest smile, explained that I do TNR and noticed there was cats there, and asked if anyone owned them.
His response blew me away!
He said there was about 10 cats hanging around, and he feeds them each morning and he'd love it if I could fix them because it's not good for them to be having litter after litter, although he did say he hadn't noticed any new kittens in about a year which is something.
He got a scoop of food and put it out so I could see all the regulars, told me which one was tame, and which ones were the most skittish. He showed me where they keep the key for the fence so I can come on the weekend to trap, and gave me his name and number in case anyone tries to hassle me about being there on a weekend
What a nice guy... Anyway, so that's my next project
