I have emailed the last 2 cat rescue groups by me and im waiting for a reply. If they dont work out and I cant find a caretaker to bring these strays too, theres not much more I can do. The only way places take them in is if they are spayed/neutered, and even low cost is too much for me to afford, I have looked all over for free services but there are none. If someone can find a feral/stray cat caretaker in suffolk County,NY I can bring these cats too then thats great news.

Oh man this is so frustrating nobody can help my situation! The rescue group said they could get the cats evaluated if I first get them spayed/neutered, but I cant even do that I have no money. Then you guys dont even live by me and you cant come up with anything either which is not your fault but still its frustrating. Reality is if I cant find any place to bring them im going to have to stop feeding them, my money is almost gone and winter will be here soon anyway. If I had my own house I would have captured all the cats, socialized them in my house, then more shelters/rescue would have taken them, but that cant happen my parents put a stop to that ever happening, and they cant spare any money either to help me with spay/neuter. I'm all out of ideas.

Have you tried calling local vets offices?
Just grab the yellow pages, and start going down the list, and see if there's a vet willing to spay/neuter these guys for a reduced fee or even for free. Chances are eventually you'll get one who is sympathetic and willing to help you out.
Once they are spayed/neutered you can then turn them over to a local no-kill shelter for adoption.

Good luck and if you have any more questions or problems don't hesitate to post or PM me.

Ok, are you SURE if they are spayed/neutered a shelter will definetly take them in? Wont they realize they were a stray? What happens if I cant find a free place, or enough for all 4 cats to get fixed?
