That’s great that you’re helping the ferals. I would like to see everyone that abandons a pet have the same thing done to them - drop them off in the middle of the desert/forest/whatever and see how they do.
I just took a ‘stray’ to the vet too. He was limping. Somehow, he ended up getting fixed, shots, and given a name. I guess he’s mine now ;)
As long as they are neutered, I don’t mind feeding a few strays. They sure keep the mice and chipmunk population down in the barn. I really am a dog person but cats get to me too. I would like to see these cats get more friendly but they have been here since fall and we can only get them to come when called for warm milk, and then we have to go back in the house before they will come near enough to drink it. They are still very nervous and edgy for having been here so long.
