sadly there are too many left on their own in the recession. Our city has had a major probelm We helped catch a mom and 5 kittens all of whom were ill. After my husband and son got under the neighbors porch they found evidence this was not the first time cats had been living there. Love cats but have to be realistic and think of the kids who may not know well enough to keep a distance

One of our 3 was a year-old feral when we got her. It took 2 years for her to stop running under the bed whenever we entered the room, but now she's a total sweetie! Three of our previous four purr-babies started out feral but became the loves of our lives. My mom's last kitty was feral. After two years of running at the sight of a human, one day she finally decided she wanted to come in the house and become a lap cat. Mom lost her just a few months ago at about 18 years old.

I'm glad to hear you have spayed the mom. Hopefully you can trap the dad too so he can bee neutered. I don't mind feral cats I just midn them reproducing. Thank you for being responsible to those animals.

Your cats are pretty. Just Tuesday we added a new member to my family... Lil Tommie Gale, named after my DH Jimmie Gale! So now we had LuLu- Australian Sheperd, King Baby Boy- long-haired orange & white Tabby and Lil Tommie Gale- Black with gray hairs coming out of his ears! We are almost complete family. We are waiting now for another year to go by to add another member.
