Hey everyone!
So as some of you may know, my Sophie got pregnant by a street cat and now he won't leave my porch.
(Sophie is getting fixed once the kittens are weaned)
Buyer I felt bad for poppa cat and wanted to do something to help him. After countless phone calls and being treated like a crazy person over and over, I finally got in contact with an organization that does tnr!
It will cost me $30 a cat for spay/neuter and includes shots and deworming. I am able to budget to do one cat a month for now. Obviously starting with poppa.
How that I have someone willing to work with me and not thinking I'm crazy...how do I start?
I know I need a trap of some sort. She told me the trap would cost $300 to buy here and she suggested I try and borrow one. She said if I can't borrow one to be in touch with her about getting one through her.
How do I lure the cat in? How long do I let it go into the trap before trapping it? Is there any aftercare the cat needs out can I release him back into his natural habitat when we get back from the surgey?
Also, with heay season coming, have you ever accidentally trapped a peegnant cat? What do you do in these circumstances?
I want all the info I can get to start a successful tnr in my town. If I can get it going there might be others who will be willing to sponsor tnr and we could potentially do more than 1 a month. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
