I have dealing with ferals, strays and abandoned cats for some time now. I live in a packed housing complex and there was TNR done before I got here but I cant identify any one taking care of the colony. I took over putting some food out after a neighbor who did so moved away. The cats got really desperate and tried to find out what food and water my cat was getting constant coming into our yard and trying to get into the house...People have told me to just stop feeding them and they will go away. We live in a semi industrial area with chain link fences, major roads, and train tracks surrounding us. They do not just go way. They just get really desperate and do wild things to service. TNR is only workable in limited situations. Feral cats should not be turned out into the wild ever and they should not be turned lose in neighborhoods without a guardian. In both cases many cats still suffer, leave fecal matter and reduce bird and other wildlife populations. I am very sorry to say that we need to reverse the newer no kill policy and allow shelters to do what they can to adopt out what they can and just euthanize the others. ASPCA can try and create sensible colonies, if there is such a thing. We long ago stopped letting allow our dog situation to be like this in most places. It's time to deal with cats for real.

Y'all are bunch of pussy ass cry babies. Sounds like a scared bunny. Fuck you all

We've had a "wild" cat for over two years now. I had her spayed once she had kittens. Only one survived due to hawks, but mostly owls. We kept the one who survived and was going to get this one fixed as well until SHE become pregnant. (These cats have finally trusted me enough to just touch their heads. I welcome them in all honesty because we see no mice is our shop and the snake situation has improved a lot.) Getting back to younger cat... She brought her kittens close to our home so I know they are old enough to be weaned. I'm setting a trap for the mom now. She will be spayed and have rabies shot. What am I to do with these "wild" kittens??? Two is fine.. Five, no way!! Our shelter will put them down; but honestly doesn't want them at all, our cat shelter of sort won't take them, and they hiss and slap at me when I try to bring them food. Trapping them would be fine if I had a place to bring them. I may have homes for them IF they weren't wild. I won't be able to keep them from their mom once she returns. Any suggestions?

We had three feral pregnant cats dropped in our neighborhood early June. They had eleven kittens only one of which we've been able to socialize. The FCS will only spay and neuter if we trap, get fixed and return to our property. In our area no agencies are doing relocations at this time. The Humane Society will only take socialized cats. We are open to suggestions.

We have a couple of Siberian Husky's. Nuff said? No cats, no rats, no mice, I've seen them go airborne and nail birds that fly down to screw with them.

My 13 year old cat just passed we have our two year old cat who we still let outside.Simba (two yearold) is having problems with neighborhood cat could it be his older brother is nolonger marking territory.

We have a small cat about 6 months old very timid, but he likes going out. However there is two really nasty cats that come in out garden porch. They fight with our small cat. Causing him to bleed. Any ideas on how to let my small cat to know it is his home and his smell. If I do these listed below will he not be able to smell the sent to get home . Any ideas

My sister in law next door decided to allow 3 kittens that were dropped off in the neighborhood for her granddaughter. They will remain outdoors. We talked about them damaging my property, patio screen, etc. She tells me they were tearing up hers and I should barricade my deck. Seriously! What am I to do?

Also I'd like to add my tenant across the street has cats which she had no permission for, kind of late now. I know there was at least 4 or 5 in the house. I counted 11 cats outside last week. Ready to lose my mind!

This is why, if you choose to have a cat as a pet, it is your responsibility to care of that animal. Do not allow them out to roam the area and use my yard where my grandchildren play as a litter box. They have totally ruined outdoor furniture, not to mention, so many are not neuteredand have kittens everywhere only to fend for themselves. These people are not animal lovers they have them for the convience of not having to be fully responsible for them. If you have a cat, please keep it inside. Its not anyone elses responsibility to take care of it.don't tell me to use sprays or anything else to deter them, keep them in your house where they belong. There ate so many kittens hete now. I have called a local humane society to collect them. If the adult cats are taken, i guess you should have kept them inside.
