Ooodles of stray cats :( :( :(

[Cookiebaker]

I'm pretty sure that someone dumped a bunch of stray cats near our house this past week. All of a sudden, seemingly out of nowhere, we have at least 6 stray cats in our yard, and surrounding woods. They are up on our porch, under our cars, sleeping in the dog house etc. They are all pretty wild, I can't get within 10 feet of them without them taking off running. There is a long haired semi-tortoise; a solid black; a gray; a tuxedo; and a couple of stripey tabbys.

Mark does NOT want me to put food out, and we can't afford to try and catch them to take them to the vet. Do I call the HS? Do I ignore them?? My heart is breaking for them thinking they don't have a place to call a home but we certainly can't home them. What do I do?

Is There A No Kill Shelter Near You.
And In Most Places You Have To Trap Those Cats Before Anyone Will Pick Them Up.
I Hope That You Can Do Something To Help Them.
There Was A Creep In Burlington Who Was Taking Money For Rehoming Cats.
He Just Left Them In The Wild.
Poor Cats.

Call the HS. It may not be the BEST option, but it is better than life on the dangerous street.

Of course you can TRY the no-kill rescues in your area, but I doubt they will be breaking down your door to come and get them. Everyone has their hands full, I am sure.

Good luck to them.
