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.
SUMMER, WHERE ARE MY TESTICLES? 😾
Ovaries in both cases. But close enough.
Thank you for your work!
I am from the internet. I'm here to help.
Seconding the thanks. TRN saves lives!
I wish I could do more. There are three factors that severely limit my abilities.
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.
"It sounds like you're just feeding shelter sardines to the cats."
Luckily nobody is going to cry about that.
The shelter supplies panacur and azithromycin. Feral kittens need a lot of that stuff. But not sardines. We recently got a donation of sardines from the local SPCA. That was all awesome. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't eat any of them except for the ones that were left over after I baited the traps. My wife does not understand why I will totally eat any leftover sardines.
Sardines are full of calcium, omegas and protein!
And it's not as if the cats licked the tin
So wait what are you doing?
Trap Neuter Release. Find homeless cats, trap them. Get them fixed and vaccinated against rabies. Put them back where they were found. This stops them from breeding out of control.
Typical internet cats. Videos, pics, memes, and discussion welcome!
Rule 1) Be kind
Rule 2) Follow the lemmy.world rules
