Quote From: fidosmommyI once had 12 cats, all strays I adopted, but as they died of old age I did not add to the "family". I now have 5, all house cats, all spayed and neutered, all with their shots, and very much loved. They get plenty of attention and quality food. Their grocery bills are bigger than mine!
This spring somebody dumped a litter of kitties and their mama cat in my back yard. I guess they saw my cats taking a sunbath in the windows and decided this was a cat home and that I would take care of the new ones. I haven't lifted a finger to feed them or house them. I guess they are catching birds to survive. Come spring, they will be having litters and I don't know what to do. I refuse to kill them. I can't find a place to take cats. We have a dog shelter but no cat shelter. The veterinarian doesn't have any idea what to tell me. I might have 200 cats in my back yard before I know it. I'm beside myself.
I know Dr. Phil's message board can't help me either, but I had to vent. Thanks for the ear.
Check around on the internet for subsidized spay/neuter programs, even if you have to just spay and release them. It's better than having cats all over the place.
