Do You Ever Feed Stray Cats?

[pomtzu]

Yup - sure do. His name is Sherbie and he's "The Stray That Came To Stay" - 8 years ago - and never left. I guess I can't consider him a stray anymore tho, since he has made himself right at home. See pics - need I say more???

LOL LOVE those Sherbie pics!

I did TNRM and fed 3 colonies for a time. I had to stop; I added 6 cats in 3 months.

I know I swore I wouldn't do it ever again, several times in fact!!!! BUT that calico that looks like Angel still comes around. She won't let me near her but how could I not feed her?

And a HUGE black cat with white that I swear is Chucks dad just because of his size, stops by once in a while. He gets a snack too so he won't take it away from the calico. AND NO NO MORE KITTENS EVER!!!! I am holding firm on that thanks to Chip and Chuck.

I do not have strays in my area. I do see a grey kitty every once in a while, but it might belong to someone.
Our new neighbors across from us have two indoor/outdoor kitties. I hate seeing them outside. One time I heard cats fighting and ran out to see. It was the tortie from across the street and the grey kitty (I think) got into it. The tortie actually let me pet her too. Then I see the orange guy begging at the window for them to let him in. I think they do stay inside at night. But still........... We live near a very busy road.

yes, and is why I'm always broke...the more I feed the more that comes, lol! I even keep cat food in my car just in case I see one running around.

And now I'm taking 3 more into the vet to be spayed on Wednesday which is going to be hard to manage because he's a full price vet....the vet who used to help me just died of cancer last month at the age of 91. He worked up until the day he died and neutered one last one for me a week before that. Bless that man's heart!

We do not have strays in our neighborhood, but when one neighbor left his elder kitty outside and she'd come over and meow at our door, yes, we fed her. For months. She so wanted to come inside, but of course that could not happen, but Paul would pet her when he saw her. She has since gone to Kitty Heaven.

I always keep a couple of cans of food in my backpack. That way there's always something ready and available for any stray or ferral I might see along the way.
