Dozens of years re feeding. We trap, s/n and release. That is the
price of free food. I would not feel right about abandoning my wild
friends. When I moved to care for my mother, I got neighbors to take
care of the one feral at that house. I visited when I could and
furnished the food. We have fed ferals at Mom's for as long as I can
remember. And calling a shelter will probably result in the death of
most of the cats you have been caring for.

Hi. I threw this out there a few weeks ago but don't i know if it
went thru - I didn't see any replies.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with outdoor
(stray) cat feeding. I have been feeding 7 for a year and a half now.
I am going to have arm surgery and will not be able to drive for 6
weeks and will have a very difficult postop recovery. I have no-one
else to feed the cats. I am thinking of calling some shelters and
maybe simultaneously the newspaper to expose their plight. Perhaps
some can be adopted, if a facility would take them in and if they
got the proper exposure from the newspaper. I also could try to
help in the adoption process. ALSO, my other question is, how long
have people been feeding their outdoor cats? I am thinking this
cannot go on forever. Where do I find people to help me out with
it, if I can't find adoptions? Any input on this, would be great.
Thanks

I wouldn't know..besides of FIP it could be heart trouble and other
conditions. Sorry I can't reasure you. The vet can draw fluid and
analyze it for protein content, high protein is FIP. Last year and
earlier this year we lost two kittens to FIP almost a month apart.
When they extracted fluid from the first one it was clear but the
analysis confirmed the high protein content. So dx was FIP, later on
vet found a large mass growing so concluded that he had pancreatic
cancer thus the fluid_at that point was greenish_his sister also got
a FIP dx, high prt fluid but more typical; yellow viscous fluid, no
cancer.
I'm wishing all the best to you and your kitten

My FeLV+ kitten developed ascites and I'm worried the vet is going
to tell me it's FIP. Does anyone know if ascites is ever related to
FeLV?
