I don’t know why I’m letting a few people get to me on this, but I am. First off, Leslie…we maintain our colonies by spaying and neutering and going DAILY to provide food, water, and shelter. We DO NOT just let these cats fend for themselves or starve to death! AND...we had an article written up in Cat Fancy Magazine about our work. We were given an award from the City for our work, and we were written up in the paper for our work! We too have been recognized.
As for QueenScoopalot…I CANNOT save the world, but I can do my part for the overpopulation of these cats by TNRing and maintaining their colony. I have rescued many, many cats, found homes where and when I could, have taken in 17 myself, and do all I can to help them. We do this on our own time with our own funds. We buy the food, we pay for the spay/neuter…AND…we go out of our way to try and retrap those that appear sick and PAY for this vet bill! You don’t JUDGE who will be feral, they are born that way. You have to find someone willing to work with a feral to tame and make adoptable. We can only do so much. I consider our 17 cats a VICTORY!! I consider helping with the overpopulation and preventing other cats for living this life a VICTORY!! I consider providing food, water, and yes shelter, a VICTORY!! I’m glad you provide the work you do, but I also provide much more than anyone else cares to do, so who are you to judge ME?
Thank ALL of you who realize and appreciate the work my husband and I do!!

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
