I am looking forward to hearing how this projects goes. What you have been
able to accomplish in Albuquerque is amazing. This next step will be watched
by rescue groups across the country.
Keep up the good work

We here in Albuquerque, just signed a contract with Best Friends to do very
agressive TNR project and the city is receiving 1 million dollars from Best
Friends in an effort.
Any healthy cats (tame or feral) who are trapped and brought over to the
shelters are going to be spayed/neutered and ret
Yeah, it's a catch-22, the elements are much kinder to the cats here...and
thus we have many more cats with year round reproduction...kitten season
never really ends here, though it does slow down considerably and when it
hits--it's like kitten hurricane season. Worried about this one as we had

At least the cat colonies don't have to freeze in the winter in FL like they
do elsewhere.
Most TNR groups that I know of in this area don't tests at all.

Yes, I do return FIV cats, but nor FeLV cats, but,like I said, Alley Cat Allies
is against testing any ferals & would return FeLV cats.

TNR is a good way to guard against the spread of FIV since the way most cats
spread this disease is through deep bites while fighting during mating season.
FIV is not easily spread through contact with other cats. A mom cat who is
FIV+ may pass it to her offspring but they may also throw it
I agree, FeLV should be put down or homed. I have returned FIV cats
Unfortunately, Alley Cat Allies thinks they all should be returned & not even
tested. The place I have gotten ferals fixed believes this & refuses to test
ferals.
Crazy.

Yes I had heard about problems with canned dog food but was wondering if anyone
personally had had issues with the dry cat food lately.

FeLV cats should not be returned to colonies, boys or girls. FeLV is too easily
contracted. Besides we don't make them any favors by releasing them in the
wild. IMO a FELV+ feral should be either euthanized or sanctuaried away from
others.
Now a FIV+ is a different story, as long as the cat is h

Does anyone feed Kirkland food? Sold at Costco?
I have a friend who feeds it to her cats & all of a sudden 4 of her cats
started losing weight. She switched foods & now they are OK.

If you fix a positive mom & put her back in a colony you are spreading FeLV. It
does not just spread by her having babies, It will spread by her sharing water
with the other cats.

As pets have become more important to their owners, what the pets are fed
has become more important as well. Most pet owners are concerned about the
quality and nutrition level of the food they are feeding their furry family
members. There are now hundreds of pet foods available to the consumer. Ho

Justice would be served that way. But it is not possible, somebody should

I lost two feral females three days after they were spayed. They were
kept up, safe and cared for. They were fine when I checked them the
night before. Two wonderful girls, unrelated, spayed at different
times by different vets, seemingly very healthy. It is bad enough
that they died.
Believe me, I am 100% onboard with TNR, it’s just not for me. I have tried
several times to set-up colonies in Greenwich, but could not get anyone to
become responsible caretakers….TNR colonies require really dedicated and
responsible people, not part-time do-gooders who have no idea how much w
I know others have also responded Natalie about TNR. TNR is one of the best
ways of fighting the spread of FeLV. In my experience a positive momma will
have positive kittens. Fix the momma and you stop the spread of the disease in
a feral colony. I also do TNR and manage 2 feral colonies. T
