People need to get their cats fixed! Especially if your going to let them be outside. Most shelters have a special rate or they are associated with programs that offer reduced rates to have the job done. If you can't get them fixed DON'T LET THEM OUTSIDE!
You really shouldn't let your cats outside anyway, unless they are barn cats - and they should have a safe place in the barn where predators can't reach them. Right now - Eagles, coyotes, fox and other predators are all hunting 'local' game. With all the 'rodent control' we have eliminated one of their primary sources of food leaving pets as the 'easy prey'.
I have recently been having a KITTEN CRAVING, and wanting an orange one to add to my bunch... After countless searches and no luck, I became a foster mum for 2 of our local humane society's. I will get to take care of kittens and more kittens and more kittens and help them all find their own forever homes..
Within days of being accepted in the programs, the emails started shooting in.... The animal shelters NEED YOU - especially this time of year. There are so many mama cats and litters of kittens that come in every day!
The shelter provides you with all the food, litter and medications that the babies will need.
My first round ~
I have a litter of 6 kittens, 2 baby girl bunnies and another litter of 2 kittens that are 10 week old feral kittens. Still working on being able to even touch those two. I haven't even been able to get their pictures. They are still pretty scared.
Meanwhile - the 6 include 3 orange tigers, 1 white with orange tips, 1 calico/patch, and 1 black and white; that to me, seems to be a week or so older?
It's a bit of work! But I'm having a Blast!! And I think they like it here too!
