What you can do...
What we do with feral cat colonies is try to trap them, using "hav-a-heart" traps. We do this
over a period of time. Try to see if somebody will work a deal with you regarding spaying
costs (Humane Society - Animal Allies).
Tell them what you're doing, see if they'll work with you. See low cost Spay-Neuter.
If money is tight, try to have the Females spayed first. Make sure the vet clips one ear
clipped (indicating to other people they've been fixed). You should be able to tell right away
which ones can be socialized towards people - or the vet will be able to tell you. Some will
not be able to adjust to humans. Kittens will socialize the easier than adults.
We then try to find the tamer cats loving homes. You can advertise for free many in the
papers (for free animals). If we can't socialize or find homes, we
release the spayed ones back into the colony. We try to get somebody to volunteer to feed
them.
If you decide to trap some. Make sure you place a sheet or towel over the
cage as soon as possible. This keeps them calm.

| If you trap an animal - Don't forget to cover the cage with a blanket or towel. This will calm the animal. |
