I may have mentioned this months back, but my surgury forced me to put this on the back burner... There's a bunch of kitties at my work. I don't think that they live for very long because I only see them around for about a year and then they disappear. (Or perhaps once they are adults they hide better.) I had been off for 5 months and now that I am back, it seems like the cat problem is even worse! They're constantly having kittens and they look skinny and dirty. (Only a few come out during the day, but they're everywhere at night. If you move a pallet, often about 10 cats will scatter, and you'll find a dead one under there that they were laying with.)
I brought up trapping and saving at least the kittens and the guys at work said no because they help the rat problem. They told me to stop feeding them because then they won't get the rats. :mad: I can sort of understand where they are coming from, but some of these kittens are starting to tame and they are beautiful. I can't imagine letting a bunch of gorgeous cats run loose without love, but on the same line, they are wild.
I've called my vet and he's going to hook me up with some traps. Should I just keep the kittens? Or attempt to keep the adults too? I've trapped, fixed, and released a few kitties, but not a mass number. Any advice/opinions on how I should go about this?
