Anyway, Many people have offered to help so on my profile I will list my address and personal email. Thank you all for your generosity of money and time!! Pet Lover's Rescue said they will asses a kitten to see if its able to go to their foster homes to be socialized and adopted, or if its feral. If so, it will go to a friend's farm to live. I was told to trap and bring them as I get them, since I only have 1 trap. After the kittens are gone, there are 3 or 4 adults that can be TNR'd, unless I can get them to take those to the farm also. I caught one last night and they are definitely not adoptable. If not for the cage separating us, I would have been a bloody mess! Since all these kittens and cats will have to be taken to a vet by Pet Lover's Rescue, might it be nice to give them some money for helping? I don't mind trapping and feeding, but the big job is socializing and getting them vet care. Especially since one of the kittens is limping badly. But if anyone decides to give money to the rescue, possibly mention it is for the kittens from Winn Dixie in Lake Sumter Landing that I (Chris) am trapping so they know. That way they know we are willing to help and not just pushing cats off on them? When I did cat rescue in the North, I hated when people would call me up and say "I have wild cats here, come take them". It all costs money and its a lot of time and work to socialize them and get them healthy. By the way, someone asked: Cares Center in Lake Panasoffkee has low cost surgery. $25 per male cat and $30 per female cat. Then rabies and flea/worming medication is extra-they put it on if you'd like. Total if you do that is about $70-90. Not sure exactly but in that range. Thank you everyone!!!! Your kindness warms me!!

Thanks Bare for posting their address. And thank you everyone! I will either contact you personally or post. So many of you pm'd me that I don't know if I can get to you all!! Kitty Litter, I may have to borrow your trap so I can get all these kittens before they get too much older! Thanks!

I caught a kitten last night and Barbara thinks it will be adoptable after some socializing! It is going to the vet today and then it has a foster home waiting for it Then I will trap another and another and so on. When all the kittens that can be socialized are gone, the ones I trap that are non adoptable will start going to the vet and then to the farm where they can live out their lives without worry of being hit by a car. I ran into a wonderful couple who have been feeding in that area for years and will continue to do so as long as there are cats there. I do need to give Barbara money for every cat I bring her (she said it costs $90 at vet for each) so if you have not sent money yet and want to, please go to my profile and get my address and send a check to me, but made out to Pet Lover's Rescue. That way I have money to give her every time. I told her some people may send it directly to her but I think it might work better if I hand it to her with each cat. Thank you all SO SO very much for your kindness, generosity and concern! Last night we all saved a life and will continue to do so until they are all in a home, or on a farm
