I've started to feed a cute little stray that comes around our house - he's been waiting for me when I get off work everyday this week now :) We have called him Frodo :D Poor thing isn't neutured ... I really wish I could help - If only it was cheaper to neuter around here :(

here's Mr.Frodo :)

awww he's so cute !! Are there any tnr type programs in your area? Sometimes, vets will make special allowances for a sob story ;) I would call around and see what you can find! :)

good luck! :)

Agreed. You should make some calls and see if anyone's willing to do a pro-bono for Frodo. ;) :p

Hmm...that sounds like a good idea - I guess I need to know if he really is a stray first of all - he seems like one - he's always craving attention and always hungry when he's around and his fur is so coarse ... he doesn't seem like he has an owner but on our street you never know .... :rolleyes:

Frodo sure looks like a real sweetie! I wish you luck on finding a vet that might neuter him for free. I wish vets would do things like that. At least these poor strays have caring people that worry for their well being, and neutering/ spaying them sure would help with the over population of homeless cats.

Johanna, I hope you find a vet willing to help Frodo. Please give him (Frodo, not the vet :D ) a belly rub from me.

He's gorgeous! And he looks so comfortable with you--I wonder if he'll be a "stray" for long. :)

My Dear mother , bless her memory , always told me that it never hurts to ask! All they can say son , is NO! So maybe you can get a Vet on a slow day , and they will cut the cost. Because all they can say is no.

Hah I know what you're implying here - but unfortnately it can't happen - we don't have the money OR the space to keep a new cat :rolleyes:

I will see what I can do for this little guy tho

He doesn't have a real owner as he is un-neutered and always hungry. Someone might think this is their cat but I doubt it. You have to actually do something in order to own a cat.

If you KNEW he had owners that would be one thing but if you find a cheap/free vets I would go for it. i.e. Neutering / rehoming.

Good Luck :D

Here's a list of vets for the St. John's area:

Vets (http://www.spcashelter.nf.ca/local_vet_services.asp)

If you don't have luck with them offering low cost spay, try talking with a local feline resuce group. They may have a multi-spay discount with a specific vet that you can use.

Frodo is so cute! Good luck with finding him a vet, just know that it is possible. When I found a stray I called Little Grey I called around and a no kill shelter gave me a free certificate to pay for her to get spayed.

Well - bad news - I found out that Frodo does have an owner - just OBVIOUSLY not a good one!! :mad: They just let him go home when he pleases, and roam around all the same - they are on welfare so I'm assuming they're not going to spend money on getting him done. People like that shouldn't have cats. :(

I think the reason he comes to us is for attention. And I'll give him as much as he wants (and of course a little food).

He's adorable. :) I'm sorry to hear that his owners don't seem to care about him.:(

So sorry to hear about Frodo's owners. At least he has you to give him the attention he well deserves. Give him some scritchies from me next time he comes around.
