What Would You Do?
As most of you have read my previous post on Kurby, Kevin & I are confused on what decision would be the best. Kurby has been in the park for several years now and basically feral. There are times he will let Kevin pet him, but no one else. The vets could not even get near him until they gassed him to sleep. He either has to have surgery, or be put down. He’s healthy other than his hip injury so the decision is so difficult. For one thing the surgery is very costly and what are our chances of taming him? If we do opt for surgery and put him back in the park, what are the chances of his hip healing properly? We could hold him for a few weeks for healing purposes, but if he doesn’t tame, would have to release him back. With these circumstances what choice would you make:
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
