next few weeks. Also, look for Feral Friends in the
DFW Pets Directory Publication (dfwpetsdirectory.com)

The cats in your neighborhood will certainly appreciate your efforts on their behalf. There are, in fact, millions of cats trying to fend for themselves behind grocery
stores, under trailers, and in city alley-ways. But there are also millions of kind people like you doing what they can to help them.
Most experts agree that the best way to care for these cats and gradually reduce their numbers is the Trap/ Neuter/Return method. (“Neutering” refers to both male and
female cats. The term “spaying” can be used in reference to female cats. It’s important to neuter the males as well as the females.)
Kittens as young as nine weeks can be neutered. Nursing females can be spayed when their kittens are eating solid food. If you trap a pregnant cat it is generally best
to spay her anyway. If you trap a nursing female and you are unsure about the kittens, then use your best
judgment after talking to your vet.
The first step is making arrangements with a local veterinarian. For help in finding a vet or low-cost spay/neuter program contact SPAY/USA at 1-800- 248-SPAY.
The next stage is the trapping. Your local humane society or animal control agency may be able to loan you the traps, or you may prefer to buy a humane trap.
You can successfully neuter a colony with just one or two traps. The more traps you have the quicker your project can move along.
