We ended up trapping 5 cats but three were repeat customers who are so desperate for sardines they will get into a trap more than once. This means we are almost done with this colony after almost a year. Up next is one of the local trash disposal places.

I wish I could do more. There are three factors that severely limit my abilities.

available free spots at the shelter fix cats for free.
gas money. I frequently have to do three or four trips on the one day that free spots are available at the shelter.
I own four traps. On a good day I can borrow three more from the SPCA. I need more traps.

I guess if I get a 4th it would be that sardines aren't free and I use those to bait traps. But I don't really count that one because sardines are dirt cheap. If there's anything left over from a tin I get to eat them.

I can't change the government. I can't change gas prices. I need more traps.
