All you can do is your best and when you are full up you are full up esp in kitten season. I also know the trap and release program is not available for rescues only the SPCA. If it was that would be the solution for the farm. Trap the cats and fix them for $35. esp if the farmer is willing to feed them and allow shelter in the barn. It would be no time and the number of cats left would dwindle.

That takes Moxy! Farm ppl look at pets differently than city ppl, they also don't tend to have alot of extra income and some just squeak by. I feel the country vets that treat their cows could offer to neuter their kittens at cost but I also know that country vets are worn off their feet too! If things slow down at your rescue (not likely I know!) I guess you could always drop off a flyer advertising your rescue service. Offering to neuter and vaccinate would probably be the best help because farms have the room to keep cats just not the neutering means.

Definitely not your job to save every cat in ...Aww. Definitely not your job to save every cat in the world, though. <br /><br />I'm curious as to TNR - I know that generally, adult feral cats can't be tamed and should just be TNR, but at what age do rescues or any other groups that deal with feral cat colonies decide that the kittens should be part of that? How old is too old to be rescued? I'm just curious because I once had a cat that I raised from a feral kitten and I almost never hear about feral kittens for adoption anymore. I'm not sure of the organization I adopted mine from; someone I worked with knew the foster mother and I just went to her place. But do most rescues that work with ferals take in the kittens to be socialized if they're under a certain age, or just TNR the whole feral colony?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
