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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dee <d...@deetroy.org> To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sat, 09 May 2015 10:26:28 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: CS>Feral cats
It is totally safe and can even be given neat for a while....Dee Sent from my iPad On 9 May 2015, at 12:44, Sam <bettysres...@yahoo.com> wrote: 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! Sam
