contact Alley Cat Rescue, they have instructions for building winterized boxes so they can stay outside. they use them for wild/feral colonies to stay in after they have been caught, spayed/neutered and ear tipped for identification. then they release them where were caught. caregivers then feed and watch over them. this way colony does not increase, but decreases as older cats die. i don't have a colony (live in middle of woods, not city), but 2 other neighbors and i adopt all the strays that show up at our houses and take to vet for shots and spaying/neutering. we do get a lot of cats and dogs dumped out here because people like to think that they can fend for themselves. they really just don't want responsibility of caring for them. we take them in because many in the country feel a bullet is cheaper than keeping them, so when a stray shows up on their property, they shoot it, good target practice they say. i have a mouth and have alienated some neighbors because of this. it is an animal they say and has no $$$$value to them so get rid of it. dorlis ---- Amy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Very true.
