You do such a wonderful service to these kitties.... you WILL be BLESSED!!!
Yes, we pay for everything out of our pocket, including the daily feedings of all these ferals. Since we've been TNRing, around 5 years now, there's probably around 35 - 40 cats left that we feed daily. Volunteering with AzCATs has helped reduce the cost of the spay & neuter, but the feeding is on our own! We love doing this though, and will continue to do so until we're unable. When/if that be the case we will make sure someone takes over the colony! Kurby was NOT happy last night. He was hissing and swating, but hopefully will be better soon! Kurby will let Kevin touch him, but no one else. I'm sure if we could find someone that was willing to work and be patient, he could be tamed. We named him Kurby because he would always wait by the curb to be fed!
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
