2012 has  been another very busy year, with a constant stream of feral cats and kittens going through the TNR and adoption programs and another large group going through the low cost spay/neuter program. We think when we add up the numbers for the year we may well have exceeded the almost 500 spays and neuters we did last year. We can see the results of this work in the fact that there are less big colonies than we have seen in the past and more and more of the existing colonies contain a majority of cats that have been fixed. With the addition of the low cost program we are hoping to see less unfixed domestic cats showing up in the colonies and less “free to a good home” unfixed kittens in the community. Now that the cold and wet November weather has arrived we have stopped all outdoor feral trapping. Our efforts now turn to the low cost program and we are pleased to report that we have three days of surgeries set for November and are hoping to get several more fitted in for December. If you or anyone you know is living below the official poverty line and has pet cats or kittens in need of being fixed, then this would be an excellent time to turn in an application. Forms are available at Duncan Pets. We would love to prevent the usual crop of unwanted Spring kittens by fixing the moms over the winter months. Although we are not doing any more feral spays and neuters over the winter, we are still bringing in kittens, including some tiny little bottle babies. There will be Christmas kittens again this year, thanks to that extended period of warm weather we enjoyed into October. Not only . . . → Read More: November Newsletter
