| Additional comments | I have one male in my group of cats that we feed who needs neutered. I also have a female cat that I'm not sure if she has been spayed or not. when she came to us she had a collar on. We removed the collar to see if her owner would replace it. They never did & she has been living outside my house for the last few weeks. I also see an orange cat in the neighborhood who is not fixed, he is not a part of the group that I feed because he fights with the other males in my group (he appears to be not well groomed). today a new cat showed up on our porch- one that i have never seen till today. very skittish. but the number of cats coming around just keeps growing & my husband & I cannot keep feeding every stray that shows up. we are currently caring for 5 strays. plus we have two indoors. I do not have the freedom to bring these cats to the vet during my work hours 8-6 pm |
