I have one giant colony of ferals! I made a list of the regulars below.
Boots, male, gray and white shorthair.
He has been coming here for almost 8 years, and he was a kitten when I moved in. I estimate he is between 8-9 years old. He always comes here with new scratches that are badly infected. I have tried getting close to him with no luck. He is the first cat that I need to get neutered.
Lilly, female, calico shorthair.
She started coming here in December last year. She is between 5-6 months old, and completely feral. I came so close to catching her, but she bit me and I let go. Her mother was found dead under my brothers truck, once she was barried, Lilly got even more scared of me. She comes around occasionally, but more when it's warmer out.
Patches, female, torbie shorthair.
She has been coming here since November last year. I can't estimate her age, but I know that she is an adult. I have never came close to her. She is terrified even if I just look out the window. I think she may be pregnant, as she is getting fat and eating more than usual.
Monster, male, black and white shorthair.
He is a very new feral. He has only been coming here for a couple of weeks, if that. He is not as terrified as the rest of them, but he runs when I go outside to try and catch him.
Two Tons, male, black Maine Coon.
Two Tons was abandoned by his owners a couple of months ago. He has grown to be scared of houses. He will let you pet him, but he won't come inside. He is two years old, according to the lady that lives in the house where Two Tons was left.
Simba, male, Bengal cross shorthair.
He started coming here just 2 weeks ago. He is more docile than most of the kitties. He will let you go near him, but keeps his distance. He comes here as much as Boots does, probably about 5 times a day.
Callie, female, dilute calico longhair.
Fairly new, she started coming here with Lilly in December. I'm pretty sure her and Lilly are sisters, as they are always together. She is frightened of everything! If I tap on the window, she bolts it down the back alley.
Ghost, male, Turkish Angora.
I am not sure if he is a feral or not. He is a purebred Angora though, I know that much. I think he just goes outside once in a while. He is neutered and is very healthy. He doesn't come here everyday, probably only twice a week. He is a little bit cranky, but he will let me approach him.
Onyx, female, black longhair.
Possibly Two Tons' daughter, she hangs out with him alot. She is around 3-4 months old. She comes around with Lilly, Callie and Patches. She is very skittish.
Jet, male, black shorthair.
He is more of a once in a while cat, but more regular than some of them. He is also a baby, about 6-7 months old. I am just estimating by his size. He comes around on his own, or with Onyx. Very friendly boy.
Well, that's half of them. I haven't given names to the rest, nor do I have a good description of their behaviour. Now all I need is help! I can't trap them all by myself, and paying for the fixing, shots, whatever they need is going to be hard. Would my vet set up something for me? Does anyone now of any TNR in British Columbia, Canada? Let me know. Also, I will take ANY advice I can get! I need to trap these kitties before they reproduce by the hundreds.
