Hi everybody! I am very new to joining websites and so if I make any mistakes, please forgive me. I've been visiting this site so much lately I realized it would probably be better to just join! I do not have any pet cats but I sort of "inherited" a colony of homeless cats. I've been coming to this website a lot for the treasure trove of information here since I've never actually had a cat before. It's been super helpful!

I'm in a similar boat! My parents have a colony that they've grown very close to, but I've never truly owned a cat. I fell in love with a kitten from a recent litter and read all kinds of articles and threads on this site trying to learn as much as I could about being a cat mama. It wasn't until I was trying to figure out how to describe my kitty that I realized I should join the site. Let me tell you, you will be glad you did! Welcome!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes looking for advice because they feel a bit overwhelmed!  I'm very limited in resources so sadly I can't do as much for the cats as I wish I could and I live in a smallish, semi-agricultural area so there aren't any cat charities that I can find operating in this area that might help. But this website has been very helpful to me because it sort of feels like a support system, even if it's just reading about other people going through similar things. By the way, your avatar picture is adorable! Thanks to everyone welcoming me!

Thank you, I just happened to catch them at a perfect moment :) and I totally feel you about the lack of resources! The "town" my parents live in is unincorporated, so there's not much help for the feral colonies. Of course my parents would spay and neuter if they had the resources and I feel so bad about letting the colony grow. At least I got the two females of this litter so that takes two potential mamas out of the mix!
