Stray cats

Feeding the cats and not spaying and neutering them isn’t doing any good. Well-fed cats are more likely to breed, and the problem gets worse. These groups may be willing to come and help out. http://animalalliancenyc.org/feralcats/get-involved-helping-community-cats/tnr-organizations/

TNR should be fine. That’s what most localities do and what I was referring to.

“Are you trolling, randi, or just dense? ”

none of the above, and no reason to be a jerk but that really is nothing new for you.

regarding the health risks of feral cats maybe do some research before typing

I believe NYC ACC is legally required to take in any animal that comes through its doors. Now what happens to it after it does is another thing. As feral cats I doubt they would be deemed adoptable, and may be put down. They have locations in Brooklyn at Linden Blvd, Manhattan on East 110th and on Staten Island somewhere.

Though I’m totally in favor of TNR it is more work than you think so hopefully you can find a group to do it for you. Also, if you go thru TNR training you have to put up with crazy cat people who are so cat crazy they even made our cat crazy (and I mean CAT CRAZY) friends wince. We hardly got any training in because so many participants were telling kitten stories, we went over time and had to leave bc they needed the room.

Just sayin’

@DIBS, the problem with TNR is that (a) it’s a ton of work and (b) AFAIK, they release them back where they got them, so it is a long term, but not quick, solution. The names you cam up with may assist with TNR, but I doubt they will (or any no kill shelter) will take these cats, which are essentially as wild an animal as raccoons, squirrels, pigeons, etc.

This post does give me the idea, however, that all of us here with a feral cat problem should round them up and drive them down to DIBS’ place in Philly and then he can see how easy it is to fix (pun intended).
