feral cats
My daughter lives in Manhattan in Hell's Kitchen and bikes to her job
in Harlem on a bike path along the Hudson River. At 125th Street she has become smitten with a little clowder of young cats and she wants to rescue them and take one home. One has already been run over and she fears they all will die eventually. She does not know how to do this. You cannot park a car anywhere near the place. She doesnt know how to catch the cats. She called some NYC Feral Cat Initiative and they offered no help and said after a certain age you have to forget about adopting a feral cat. It is kind of a weird situation. When got my own darling feral cat (in Philadelphia) I just enticed him into the house with yummy food and he was a bit injured at the time, his knee is still kinda peculiar, so he is very happy to stay here. He clowder showed up a few times but I haven't seen them in months. anyhow: does anyone have any suggestions on how she can go about rescuing one of these feral cats? I am afraid that she might get bitten and get rabies or something like that. If she captures one of the cats, gets in into a box, then she will have to take it home on her bicycle. I think its hopeless. Of course that cat will be very upset. But there is little hope of them surviving where they are now. |
