uabassoon & catnapper, I understand your view, totally.

like I & uabassoon said, in my situation, what about those people who have found over a couple of ferals, paid for the whole thing until they couldn't afford anymore. I never wanted to leave this queen outside and have her four boys unaltered just because I didn't have any penny on me. the population of cats must stop. I did not plan to have more than 8 cats and couldn't leave the queen out there. where better help can I get beside paying $30/male & $45/female around here all the time - (that is all they offer in my county). that being said, we need more animal lovers out there!! that's so sad I had to do, pay everything by myself. (over 14 total now, five not include).

last time, I had the first & last voucher (for shaddow, no ear-chip, same district) that I would need to pay $10 each but they don't do that anymore. and if I knew they had to chip their ears, I wouldn't take in these vouchers and will be more than glad to pay for whole thing!! (I wish they told me...)

now, I definitely wouldn't use that vouchers ever again. the only thing bothers me, why they still consider the tame cats as ferals. what can I do? I've found the stray queen as a feral cat but they (the boys too) aren't now. I just realized this all is so sticky. I tried! worst seem always come for me.

yeah, maybe tattoo isn't the greatest idea.. but I'm still sure there has to be another way, and avoid "trap-it-again" to see closer. notched ears to be seen from far away is still impossible to tell still, I believe. there better not be a new policy coming up, cut the ear compeltely.
