    Feeding Time At the Park

    I'm sure you're all aware now that we feed a colony of ferals. Have TNR'd over 90 now at a park near out home. Here's a picture of some at feeding time.

    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Yes, and they bring the chicks to eat also. There's also rabbits, peacocks and pigeons that join in. We try and feed and sunset when these other animals are calling it a day and the cats are just waking.

    The cats don't bother the chickens? That is really neat...it is just a regular park?

    Yes, it's a huge public park. I rarely see a dead chicken, rabbit, or otherwise due to the cats. Guess we feed them too good!

    I'm so glad that you're able to do this. I'm also surprised that the cats don't attack the chickens. Thanks for the pic.

    You are one in a million to care so much about those homeless cats. I really with they had warm loving homes to be in instead. But at least they have you!!
