Is there any way you could get them spayed and/or neutered to stop all of the kittens from appearing? I know it can be costly, but there are many low cost spay/neuter clinics. They will all get keep multiplying if they are not spayed or neutered.Originally Posted by Chatypaty
I have been doing this now for quite some time and its not an easy job, I have grown to love these cats.. and I have a bunch. First there was the Momma who gave birth to four kittens Oreo, Gray Midnight and Mimi, well after months Gray and Oreo left ,never did show up again,Momma got pregnant again this spring and had four more, only three lived.. Tipper, Sassy and Peanut, now I have all of them here and Mimi has gotten pregnant , she has four, Cali, Brighteyes, and Shy and Shadow.. these were born about two wks after Momma had her second bunch.. its getting outta hand, I feed them all morning , and night .. water and Mommas three are on my front porch all the time pretty much.. I can pick two of them up at times.. Momma has taken off now.. but I know she will come back.. I took care of the first ones all thru last winter, I have a igloo that I filled with blankets and orders one of those heaters and they did well , I brought it up on my porch.. right now we are insulating a play house in the back yard for Mimis bunch..I have tried to get in touch with a few groups to see if they would take them but no help at all.. you sure grow to love them , but its harder and harder to take care of all of them . I give them dry food and canned friskies which I am going to have to stop doing.. I am retired now and its too costly .. but I do love them.. but honestly its not a good thing . my neighbors have brought it up to me.. so I know they arent happy with it .. what to do ??
I take care of 2 feral males. It is a challenging job. I do the best I can by providing food and shelter and special time with me. I would not trade them for anything. I understand how the neighbors would be upset. Many people do not like cats. If you would get them all spayed/neutered the male wandering and territorial marking ( spraying) will be greatly reduced.
You are doing a wonderful job with so many cats. Thank you for taking care of them.
