Hi I am new here...although I have been reading the post on a regular basis to help with a ferel cat colony I decided to take care. The project for me has been overwhelming at times and not an easy thing to do. I am thankful to have had these forums to relate to those who have done similar things.
If you are curious this is my story...I started to feed a ferel in my yard last summer. I participated in TNR, and found out she had kittens while I had here trapped. I let her go earlier then recommend after the surgery to find the babies. I was able to find them, one almost dead the rest ferel already at 4 weeks! Couldn't pick them up they hissed and lashed out. I saved and adopted out the one not doing good. My friend has him, Oliver. The rest have been in my yard since October. I have had them fixed and built the shelters etc, recently they got a shed. In the meantime I gained a new one not apart of the family, he has also been fixed, and one from the family has recently went missing for a few Weeks.
I live in Brooklyn NY so dealing with neighbors has been a huge issiue, one I had to buy a sprayer for...and just as the dust settles...I think I might have a new cat which I am not sure I can take on. I see this one every few days trying to not leave extra food out. Which sounds mean but I hit an emotional and fincial limit. Anyways that's the sum of it.
Thanks for all those who post and give advice I'm sure I'll be on here sometime soon seeking support or advise!
