Greetings!
I have four cats of my own, three boys and calico girl who has stealthily crept into my lap as I'm typing this message. Two are littermates, and the others are cousins, all from a TNR colony on a family farm. I've had cats for most of my life other than a period when I lived in a small apartment in graduate school.
I became a TNR colony caretaker somewhat by accident about five years ago. A friendly mother cat approached me when I was down at the farm and led me back to her four undernourished kittens in an old barn. The next day, I arrived with a carrier and took them home. I gradually learned that they were just the tip of the iceberg, and I've been on a long, steep learning curve since then figuring out how to deal with the various challenges. I'm still learning, which is part of why I'm here.
I'm particularly interested in learning more about strategies to get adoptable adult cats adopted.
