I took some pics of a few feral cats that hang around the shelter today, in the memory garden (where any animal who dies in our care is buried)

Some came quite close, thinking I had brought more food


Funny Face


A 3 legged feral we let out because he just hated being in.. cant remember his name :p


Orion


Waiting for more food??


Here's some I took elsewhere.. by the greenhouse.. the cats took over lol


A very rare shot of Ulysses, a super feral cat lol


Funny Face sunbathing


Here's Monty, a past feral.. he was still very grouchy until Whiskeycat died, and now he is the most affectionate cat there is.. its almost scary.


Hope you liked

Well it is always great fun when one needs a vet visit

A trap wont work as there is too many cats around, we have to try manually catch them.. the greenhouse is our best bet :p

Well there are at least 20 feral shelter cats that live in the cat cabin and hunt but we still feed them..
Then there are about 20-30 again outdoor/indoor and semi tame-very tame cats.
Then a room with adoptable cats, there are about 15 of them at the moment. A few of those are also feral, and we are just socialising them as much as possible right now until we 'release' them out with the feral cat colony.
I have pics of them too..

Wow! Good on you for looking after all those cats! Love the greenhouse!

I think Monty is my fave, he looks like a good cuddle.

Mmmm.. I like Ulysses and Monty! Funny Face looks darn cute too
Good job taking care of all these ferals. How much do you spend on food for them weekly?

No idea
I just work in the yards with the animals, the boss takes care of finances. A lot of food is donated but we order some in too to ensure there is always some available.

They're so precious! It's so sweet of you to take care of them as much as you can. The first one looks like a feral cat that used to come around here.

I love these pictures. The greenhouse is an awsome place for so many cats.
Monte looks like a big purr baby. So does Funny Face. Neat!

Such beautiful kitties you have there!
They do look very healthy and well fed. I just love Orion, he's so handsome and Monty too!
I would to have them all.
