I would say, check with your local Petsmart of Petco and ask the rescues if they have room for an abandoned, already spayed cat. If none of their fosters have room, perhaps they have a foster your own pet (FYOP) program, and you can find her a forever home. The rescue group I work with has FYOP, and can sometimes even provide a large kennel/cage to keep the cat separate from your own clowder.
Hope this helps. =^..^= Terri, Siggie the Tomato Vampire, Guinevere, Travis, Dori and 6 furangels: Ruthie, Samantha, Arielle, Gareth, Alec, Salome and Sammi =^..^= ----- Original Message ----- From: Bonnie Hogue<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2011 9:05 AM Subject: [Felvtalk] Please Share Thoughts on TNR Dilemma Wish I would have thought to ask this yesterday! Now I'm literally an hour away from needing to decide. The problem is that my aunt (who's tame housecat I took) also had a "feral" living in her large yard. The cat showed up about 2 years ago, and for the past year I believe the cat has pretty much been a resident there (her only source of food?). Yesterday I trapped her and took her to Forgotten Felines, the local and excellent TNR organization. Guess what? She had already been spayed. That means some (fill in the blank nasty term) 'person' had just abandoned her! So here's the dilemma: if I release her in my yard, she's in a strange place. The only thing holding her near will be my good heart. If I take her back to my aunt's house (which is to go on the market soon) god knows what will happen, where she will find food, and the next 'trapper' may not have as good a motivation as I do. I see it as 50/50 for this poor cat. But what would YOU do? Thanks for your thoughts. ~Bonnie _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
