Intact stray cats are NOT a wait situation , EVER !
It sounds like this woman may have over her legal limit living in her house & IF this is the case you can call animal control on her. Also the next time she asks you "what's your hurry " you need to tell her that you don't want those kittens getting pregnant & bringing more homeless cats into your neighborhood, PISSING in your yard & having more babies under YOUR shed. Tell her that if she wants the cats then keep them in HER yard or you WILL trap them & take them to the shelter. UGH ! I have been through this as well & it took over a year to catch them all & take them to a rescue. There were a couple that were older that my aunt was feeding outside that started the whole thing & those I allowed her to keep but it took a few months to catch them so I could get them altered & vaccinated. By the time we had caught the last kitten I believe we had ended up with 87 cats that we had to find rescues to take, all because she would not catch the 2 or 3 original cats & get them altered. I wish you much luck. |
Exactly my point . . everything you just said !!
Even you being a cat lover can understand my frustration with this situation and I so appreciate that. I dont' hate cats, I've had plenty in my day but I am so not Pro Fur. I just can not handle it any more which is why after the last of our cats and the fur coated animals passed we no longer have any fur coated animals in our home. We are strictly a Yorkie family now.
My best friend did this same thing, it took some probing from us for her to realize that she was only making a bad situation worse before she agreed to catch and re home them. She borrowed my traps and with the help of our local animal control she caught and re homes all 52 of them. Occasionally there will be a few litters in her yard but she does not intervene.
