Hi! my co-worker and friend has at least 5 (that's what I counted) feral cats in her neighborhood. I've posted about these cats before and said I was going to try to catch them and have them fixed and returned. Well, I went on vacation. She went on vacation and now she is getting ready for a huge bday party for her husband this Saturday.
I can get two traps and spay/neuter certificates (3 for $50) from my friend at The Cat Network. Problem is that now my friend is having second thoughts.
She is having trouble getting the money, especially with the party coming up. But I'll figure that out...a small fundraiser or asking neighbors. And my friend is worried that more cats will enter the neighborhood because her neighbors feed them. So she'll fix these 5 and then what? Keep fixing the new ones?
Her husband wants to trap them and either take them to the local animal shelter (where they will undoubtedly be PTS) or to his job...he works for a fish importer and says that there are always fish scraps and water around. I don't see how either of those suggestions are good.
She knows my stand on the issue, but it's not my house and it's hard for me to tell someone else what to do. I state the facts and offer advice and that's about it. I'll help her in every way possible.
Please...if you have any good suggestions or advice, that would be great. Thanks!
