I met a really nice man one day while out feeding. I happened to spot some kittens in a front yard, and the gentleman came outside to see what I was doing. I asked about the cats and kittens, and he said he has been feeding them. He had about 12 bowls for food lined up and down the gangway by his house. I'm not sure he knew the exact number of cats in the colony, but it was obviously getting to be overwhelming. I could see that some of the kittens needed medical care, and they all seemed young enough to rehabilitate and adopt out. So, I offered to take the kittens.

The adults were feral, so I offered to come back and set traps. I let him know we would spay/neuter, vaccinate, and administer prevention before returning them, and there would be no cost. He was grateful for the help and looked forward to them coming back.

It's nice to help with the TNR's (Trap, Neuter, Return) when I know they have a caregiver keeping an eye on them and making sure they are fed, have fresh water and have protective shelter.
