It has come to my attention that there is a colony of some kind near my office building. I've only seen one cat, smallish but not kitten-sized. I couldn't get closer than about 15-20 feet when I tested the waters to see if I could approach him/her.
From mentioning it to other co-workers, I've heard that there is at least one litter of kittens. No idea on ages or anything because I haven't personally seen them.
I really want to help these cats, even if all I can do is TNR. I'm a member of Alley Cat Allies and I donate to them, and I know they have a lot of good materials to study. There is a lot of information that I'm studying here, as well. It's fortunate that we have Hissy here, it seems like she's a feral expert.
I definitely plan to read all the information here, and also follow the links from the stickied threads, but since this is my first foray into trying to help stray/feral cats, I'd really like it if someone might be willing to maybe mentor me a little? Allow me to bother him/her with PMs and questions and the like? Just a little virtual hand-holding while I'm getting started.
Can anyone help me out?
