Dear All,
It's been about a month since I visited here but I hope all your trapping is going well!
I have a friend in north Orange County, CA, who has been feeding a colony for TWELVE YEARS! Back pats for her. But her mother is very old and very sick now, so my friend needs help feeding her colony and trapping occasionally (one kitty is injured right now, for instance, and she needs assistance catching him/her). Now that I live out of state, I can't be there to help.
Though she and I have sort of "been around" the animal community in SoCal for many years, it just doesn't seem like anybody will lift a finger for feral cats. The few feral friends we know are so strapped & overwhelmed themselves that asking them to help would be a little mean.
Can any of you help us figure out how to find a reliable, kind person to help my friend?
I read about someone putting an ad in the paper in San Francisco once, but that seems like it could attract weirdos! I don't know. Your suggestions appreciated.
