moving away from feral community
My sister and her husband have a business in a Seattle neighborhood with a
large feral cat community. They have been taking care of this community for about 10 years, feeding, vaccinating, spaying, neutering, nursing and finding homes for kittens etc. They are now needing to move their business to a larger building in a new neighborhood, and can't find any information on what they can do for the remaining cats, now that they will no longer be around to take care of them. The vet they asked responded with a very helpful "I dunno." Any ideas would be very welcome.Thanks. Susan C |

My sister and her husband have a business in a Seattle neighborhood with a
large feral cat community. How big is the colony? One would think/hope that after 10 years of spaying/neutering and placing kittens that it would have dwindled down to a manageable number. Can they not trap them and take them with them somewhere else? Aren't there feral cat rescue groups in Seattle that would help? I'm sure in a city that size that there must be.

Sharon is terrific. She helped me (via this newsgroup)a few years ago when
I took in a feral cat as a pet. It would also help if your sister or you would be willing to make a contribution to her organization. Joy "Karen M." wrote in message ...

I'm sure she would have constructive advice for the OP, though.

Hi, Sharon Talbert of Campus Cats here. I shared some good information (about a local feral cat organization called Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Progject) with the original poster and hope her sister finds some assistance. I also offered to help her get in touch with that mailing list, to possibly locate a new guardian angel for the colony. Sharon Talbert Friends of Campus Cats Seattle |
