missing ferals need {{{{be safe vibes}}}}
as some of you know, myself and a friend care for a colony of 25 feral cats, alot of them come from the same mother and are identical ,you can still see the difference between them and we have names for them all.
we have been trying to tnr them all with the loan of some traps from our local cat welfare,unfortunately this is taking longer than it should due to their location,they live in a very busy industrial and retail area of town,there is nowhere to safely leave the traps due to pubs and bars and the drunks around so we cannot leave the traps unnattended.
the tnr has been made more difficult as somebody else leaves food for them so the cats are reluctant to go in the traps.we have been there at different times to try to see who is feeding them and ask them to not feed till we have neutered them all as we are feeding them as well.
there are 10 that turn up for dinner like clockwork,but four of them have now been missing since the 27th feb,
it is now a week since they have not been there,and we know they would be there if they could.
the missing ones are humbug,buttons,half-ear,and mum,
we have searched everywhere around with no sight of them and i am worried sick that they might be sick or injured somewhere.
