I’m looking for someone to help me catch a feral cat family that lives in my backyard. It’s two adults and 5 kittens. I’m am VERY allergic and suffer from asthma, not to mention I don’t have the time really to do it. I am willing to pay someone who has the motivation and / or experience. I will cover any expenses as well. If you have a referral or interest in doing this, please leave contact info. They are all tabby cats.
Please give me a call to discuss this matter. i may be able to help you. 212-945-8196
I’m wondering if Mighty Mutts might be able to help. I adopted my cats there and I know they round up strays all the time.
I do plan on “TNR” and hopefully give away kittens. I’m not trying to “clean up” the problem, but deal with it a responsible humane way. I do not feed the cats, but other neighborhood people do. I perfectly enjoy watching the cats and kittens in the backyard, but obviously need to deal with this for their benefit. I would like to have them returned, neutered, to the yard.
there is this mad horny cat in the alleyway adjacent to my bedroom window and every once in a while at like 4am it just starts howling and moaning, i was terrified when i first heard it, it sounded like zombies or something.

You’d be surprised how well TNR helps. The cats that remain on the street are less troublesome, you don’t get more every year and, unfortunately, there are all kinds of gruesome reasons why the existing feral population may dwindle over time.
The Empty Cages Collective does amazing feral cat TNR work, assuming that’s what we’re talking about. If you’re looking for someone to take remove the cats, that’s not what they do. But if you’re down for it, they may be able to help. And frankly if you have money to donate that can be a very persuasive factor 🙂 emptycagescollective (at) gmail . com
What exactly do you expect them to do with the cats once they are trapped? If you take them to the ACC they will be euthanized immediately as they have no room during this busy period. The only way to go is TNR. If you call Meredith Weiss , of neighborhood cats, they have coaches that can help you but the cats will need to be returned to live out their lives. There are other ways to keep them out of your back yard – use motion activated sprinklers, there are pepper powders that you can sprinkle around the perimeter, etc.
I want to stress that if you remove these cats others will just take their place!

So, you’re not actually interested in TNR. You just want someone to clean up your problem. I see that you made a feral kitten adoption plea post only 6 months ago – are you feeding the adults?
$10 for ammo, you take care of disposal. I need some target practice anyway.
