Default Sadly, it never ends....

I've discovered another young feral cat by Sweetbay. It must be a half-sibling of the siamese looking kittens I am feeding. It has a lot of the same features. It hangs out on the other side of the parking lot and someone told me the large very very skittish grey cat I keep seeing is the mom to my ferals. Guess I have to start putting another bowl down across the lot. So sad because these cats are so beautiful.

Do you not have a catch and neuter programme here?

No program. There are people who do it themselves, like I did with these cats, but no formal program. There are a few places around that offer discounted surgery for ferals.

Kitty, One has been caught and spayed. The other was a bit more trap savvy so I'm trying again Monday night (someone else feeds them periodically, which is great, but makes it hard for me to make sure he/she is hungry enough to enter the trap). And now that I know about the new cat, I will try to get that one. The grey momma has only come around twice before so I have not been able to get her yet as I don't want to leave the trap unattended all night.

Bare and Terri, I can't thank you enough, now more than ever!!! Your donations will be put to good use!

If, by a wild chance, the person who periodically feeds these cats reads this website and sees this, pm me and we can work a schedule out if you'd like.

I agree!

I am coming for a visit in November. Do you want me to pack the trap? Luckily, I haven't had the need to use it here for a while.

I've had luck with the trap savvy ones with tuna fish. Will send a little something to the fund. Good luck with catching Mama cat!

I have one trap I'm borrowing from a woman here in TV that does rescue but if you have a trap and can fit it for the ride, that would be great. I can try to get 2 at once!

Loving animals, when I get back from vacation, I will help you with food and see about buying another trap. Plus transport to the clinic. We will be back 10/24.

Bless you.

I saw a woman putting dry cat food on a walk way and I heard someone ask her what she was doing and she said that she was feeding the stray cats. The woman works at the swimsuit shop at Lake Sumter Landing and she was putting the dry food on the walkway behind her store. I guess prior to the cutting of the shrubs behind her store the strays were hiding in those shrubs but now they are bare so I'm not sure if they are hanging there anymore. Hope that helps you and I would like to donate to help you if I could. Where can I give a monetary donation.

Unfortunately I know of a few other areas in LSL where people are feeding cats. But at least they are getting help There are quite a few hiding places in that area for them to go during the day to stay out of sight. Thank you for your offer of a donation. I will post my address on my page so just click on my username above. I have been depositing it into an account for when I trap and take them to the vet. Thank you!!

Unfortunately she is also feeding stray rats, squirrels etc and other unwanted animals you do not want around your house.

Well then, from your point of view, it must be a good thing that this is in the town square, and not near your house.

I noticed that you have your address listed as The Villages, CT 32162...I'm sure that is a miss print and you mean The Villages, FL 32162
