Feral cats again

zaksmum

There are two young feral cats hanging around in our road. Can't be more than about 6 months old, fending for themselves.

I'm not a cat person (I have 2 dogs) but these poor creatures are getting thinner and thinner. A neighbour was complaining about having to clean up cat sick from her garden so probably unwell too.

I can't just let them starve so been putting cat food out for them.

RSPCA can't help and none of the cat rescue places can either.

There were some feral kittens about 2 years ago and I did mange to find a rescue that helped trap them, get them vet treatment and find homes for them, but they can't help this time.

Poor little things. Feel so sorry for them but what can be done to help them?

Try contacting Animal Lifeline - they may be able to help in some way.

They probably need repeated worming for a start....you can buy Drontal very cheaply online without prescription. Of course ultimately they do need to be trapped and at least neutered/returned otherwise they will very soon be breeding.
All cat charities are stretched beyond limits so you may need to keep on trying and asking for help even if it is just to borrow a trap and get them neutered ( CP offer free neutering in such cases)

This is the problem, the cat rescues are overwhelmed, sadly.

Apart from putting food out there's little else that can be done.

I am still phoning around though.
