This is the true story of Sammy the cat. She is a community cat that was around our studio neighborhood. She is not feral (feral is more of a cat born in the wild and does not have friendly contact with humans). Community cats are strays that live outdoors.
We met Sammy about a year ago. She is small, and we thought she was a kitten until she brought her kitten with her one day. Since we met her, we fostered 2 of her litters and adopted 2 of her kittens. (All of her other kittens were adopted (most) or brought to a no-kill rescue)
She was so difficult to trap!! I finally hired a trapper after trying 3 different humane traps, and special long cat claw proof gloves.
Did you know that 1 cat can have 2 liters a year and if they are not fixed......it can result in over 11 million kittens in 9 years!! (That is if all of the kittens are not fixed, a litter of 2.8 surviving cats).
Check your local Humane Society. Many have Snip and Release programs. There are also local vets that have reduced price TNR (Trap and Release) programs.
Oh - we also fixed the baby daddy! He was easy - just went into the humane trap.
