Hi I was reading your mail. What did you mean about "that is the price of
free food?" Do you receive food free for feeding the cats? I do not TNR. I
don't belong to any program. Just my lone self feeding the 7 cats. (they are
all neutered except 2 by someone else) I have spent so much money on them each
week. Money I don't have. It is getting to be a bad situation for me.

Dozens of years re feeding. We trap, s/n and release. That is the price of
free food. I would not feel right about abandoning my wild friends. When I
moved to care for my mother, I got neighbors to take care of the one feral at
that house. I visited when I could and furnished the food. We have fed ferals
at Mom's for as long as I can remember. And calling a shelter will probably
result in the death of most of the cats you have been caring for.
