I'm going to check on spay/neuter programs for feral cats before I release it. Tal, I think you're right on the probability of it being hard to rehabilitate. I wish I knew of someone with a farm or ranch.  |
I'm not surprised it's not chipped. People seem to do that to dogs more than cats.
There is a cat that lives in the parking lot outside Bonefish Grill. It sleeps under people's cars. The staff at Bonefish must occasionally feed it. I've often wanted to "rescue" the cat and free it from its suffering. But my wonderful partner, Fireboy, always makes me see the sense. He tells me the cat is having a great life and I have no right to catnap it and send it to a shelter. I think he is right. But I avoid that parking lot, it makes me sad.
