Just, please be careful around the cats themselves.  It is now known that 
borellia and its co-infections can be transmitted by fleas and feral cats can 
come in close contact with ticks that can transmit the microbes to them and 
then onto the fleas which can bite people and make them very sick.PT

Hello to all!
Finally received our Silver Puppy!  We are CS newbies and have a colony of 
feral cats which we've occasionally heard hacking (upper respiratory?). They 
drink from one big glass water bowl. 

We'd like to add CS to their water but are concerned as 2 of them are nursing 
their kittens. Is it safe for these moms to be drinking it too? How long and 
how much should be added? Could it be added on a daily basis infinitely or do 
it on a schedule? Many other ferals come through, besides our colony which 
live in a condominium complex.
Thank you!

2015-05-09 Thread Lola Harris
My daughter was a volunteer with an org. called SNAP that would humanly
trap feral cats.  They captured and sterilized them.  We have 3 feral cats that 
theysterilized and gave  back to us.  The vet cuts just the bare tip of one ear 
off to indicate that they can no longer breed.  Is there an organization like 
that around you that couldat least spay or neuter your cats for a nominal fee 
or maybe for free? We have a barn and horses so these cats are terrific in 
controlling the mouse/rat population altho we feed them every day.  Most feral 
cats can't be 'socialized' tho 2 out of the 3 that we have are wonderfully tame 
and love to be petted.Lola ps.  CS mixed in their drinking water is a great 
idea... maybe a tbs per qt?  Itcan't hurt them at all.
