In our complex there are quite a few strays. I have heard them fight a lot and when I hear it, I often try to run out and break it up. I realize it will pick back up, but I try to do what I can.
One of the cats had kittens. 3 of them were spotted by us at one point, but only 2 are around now. They are about 3 months old now. I have been taking food and water out for them now so that they have a place they can eat and drink. I am hoping it helps to stop some of the fighting as they all seem to come and eat at different times, and no one has been territorial over it. Mom and kittens always get to eat, I make sure to check on that quite often.
We feed them just meow mix as we already have 4 indoor cats on Wellness core wet and dry. So our budget doesn't really include outdoor cats. We just feel we need to help them as much as we can.
Mostly I am here to talk about the mom. A couple of days ago I noticed her tail was a dead tail. It pretty much looked like sausage links and had no movement. The very next day, the tail was gone. Not sure if she chewed it off, or it fell off from being dead. I am actually happy it's gone as I believe that is better for her overall.
What I am hoping will happen is the mom and kittens will get to know me over time, and come to trust me. I want to be able to spay (at least spay the females) and hopefully neuter the males at some point. I don't want to see more kittens trying to survive out there.
My vet told me that the Humane society allows you to 'adopt an area' and you can get help in doing so. I'm going to look into that later today or tomorrow. I want to do what I can to help these little ones survive out there.
Just have no clue what I will do when we move. We wont be able to take them with us.
