    Feral Cat Feeders

    As most of you know a few years ago I was fortunate enough to have the Company I work for buy into my feral cat program. As long as I can remember there have been cats on the property and they would call a pest control to trap and remove them. After educating them on the benefits of TNR I am now the official “cat person” here.

    I set-up a few feeding stations and one just recently started having problems with all the birds devouring the food. I needed to come up with something quick before we had bird complaints and the expense of purchasing extra needed food.

    A fellow co-worker came up with this idea and thought I’d share it with those of you that are feral caretakers. The food is inside (of course) and the doors are made of light-weight aluminum.

    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 there's still enough area left for them to stand and eat.

    Actually it swings easier than the pet doors. It's made from very light aluminum since the heat here tends to make plastic and rubber brittle very quickly. It didn't take long at all since they get hungry and this is their only source of food. It didn't take the birds long to realize they couldn't get to the food either!
