There's a number of feral cats around my house. One female in particular had two litters this past year, 3 kittens in the spring and 3 more in around August or early Sept. Don't know where any of them went but the mother is still here living under the deck across the street.

I thought maybe I could start trapping them and getting them neutered but the first night I set the trap out I caught an opossum then the next night I caught a damn skunk.......That was the end of my trapping.

Before we brought in the two I posted about, we did TNR on all of them. We did it for the three kittens of one of them before that. After a couple months after releasing them we brought them in. The kittens were pretty easy, as we had partially tamed them on the screen porch.

Never got a possom or a skunk, although they were in the neighborhood. Guessed we lucked out.

We have a great organization here that will neuter ferals without an appointment. Once trapped, you keep them overnight with no food or water (anesthesia issues), and take them in a 7 am. By afternoon, they’re done. I think it was only $25.
