| Additional comments | (321)-805-0496 My parents live on the same property with my family. My Mom is the main feeder and her hood has been to always be able to get them fixed and they can live their life’s out here. We have enough property. We all don’t want any animal to ever suffer. But my parents health is declining and we truly have tried and have only been successful in getting one male cat trapped and fixed. One more recently got in some kind of fight and we could not watch it suffer. We also could not afford the car it would need. So it was surrendered to the county. Catching him even though injured was an all day and lots of prayers event. We currently have two mamas ( one mama is the daughter of the other ). They both have had kittens again recently. One has two black kittens that still are nursing and not old enough to be with out their mom. More males are growing and fights happening. I have tried to trap them in normal pet carriers with out success. The main Mama is extremely jumpy and skittish even after years of being around us outside. I do not have trap cages and could use all the help I can get. But I also don’t want the Mamas to go and their babies then left behind. However I can identify which ones those are and we have many more that I believe are males and if some are females they don’t seem to be pregnant yet…My Mom feeds them around 10/10:30 a.m and 7:30/8:30 at night. We have property and would be happy to have them released back here to live the rest of their life’s out. But we desperately need help in trapping/spaying and neutering them. Some are starting to inbred which I believe is causing certain health issues. I can elaborate on that later if like. |
