I do TNR also...and I have to agree with Sharyl...this money is coming out of my own pockets...I cannot afford to spay/neuter/vaccinate...but I do. These cats will be returned to their colony as long as their health is good...I wish I could afford every test and every preventative vaccine, but I am doing the best I can with what I earn. I haven't had any kittens to worry about in the past two years, so I feel fortunate.
