I was adopted by 4 kittens born in the milkhouse last July. Their mother was one of the neighbor's outside unfixed females... basically a feral mother cat that had it's first litter and abandoned them at 2 days old.

I am a "cat guy" and still, I have mixed feeling about this article. There are "probably" far better options, but at some point, there is a cat population problem... I saw it first hand with the place I used to work where a coworker took to feeding the strays... which kept breeding and breeding more and more kittens... because there was an "endless" supply of food.

All I can really offer is that if you are going to care for an outside cat, do the world a favor and have it spayed or neutered so maybe your neighbor doesn't shoot it.

Several vets in our area have a program to offer low cost services to spay/neuter, give shots to stray cats.

We adopted what we thought was a feral cat. A small wet kitten with wounds all over its face showed up one day. We took it to the vet telling them we would care for it. They said they would check it for FIV - same as AIDS in humans. If positive they would put it down. They clip the tip of the left ear which is the universal sign of a neutered feral cat.

This kitten bonded with our pet cat and both are buds now.

This seems to be the cat in question.
