Bless you for shouldering this unreasonable burden at this time....it's truly a wonderful thing you're doing for this poor Mama cat and her babies.
I'm curious about rehabbing and rehoming feral cats. In my area, we have a few colonies of them and what our shelter has been doing is capturing them, doing a spay or neuter and returning them to the colony. This seems to be a growing trend around the country so I was just wondering about the success y'all have had with rehabbing and rehoming. Of course, in this case, that Mama cat could never be released after being de-clawed.
I understand your frustration as I am going through 'cat issues' due to a very irresponsible neighbor. I am so mad at her but can't resist doing what I can to help these innocent babies.
Kudos to you and your family for saving these cats as you have done.  |
Catch and release in actually very common and in most cases best for the cats they will never be able to live with humans.
its cats like momma who cant survive in a colony. or cats who are not all the way feral and can stand some contact with people that are the best candidates for rehabilitation if you or anyone else is interested PM me and i will send you a set of steps to rehabbing a feral cat.
