I was surprised to look outside this morning and see a new kitty outside. She came around with the big black male that I have been feeding. That brings the total to 7 ferals by my apartment complex. This little kitty is a very small long hair tabby. She is beautiful and I don't think she is as feral as the others. She came trotting right up to me but stopped a few feet away. She just meowed and meowed and laid down in the sun. I am sure she is in heat and with the male who is always hanging around...I am afraid if I don't catch her, I might have some kittens hanging around soon.
So, my question, what do I do when/if I catch her? I have been saving a lot to spay my last kitten and her appointment is Friday. I don't think I can afford another one and I really can't have another cat! Shelters will put strays/ferals to sleep won't they? I would like to make a trap somehow, not sure how to do this though.
There is a low cost clinic by my house which charges a total of $65 for spay and all shots. I know this is a deal but that is still a lot for a poor college student...I could catch her, save up a bit and make sure she's healthy and find her a new home. I know I will get attached though. I don't know, sorry to ramble, just wanted to share my thoughts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
