You are such a kind heart, I just wish folks would take responsibility for their pets.

Thank you. I wish they would, too. Though Brigit is the child of another feral, so I don't know how many generations they go back to a domesticated cat who should have been spayed.

oh gosh, that kitty is so lucky to have you! <3 Guarding from coyotes. *shudders*

She and her sister were around the garage when I'd get back from work and made my day brighter, so we go way back now. (-; Coyotes aren't so bad--all I had to do is stand up, and it immediately turned around and loped away quickly. And I trust Brigit has holes in the brush she can get through that the coyote can't. Humans are the menace I worry about.

It's lovely that you are doing this!! With pics like this one, couldn't you try to find someone to adopt her?

Thank you. I would love to find someone who would take her in, but she's still more than half way feral and I can't promise that will change, so she's not an easy adoption candidate. I don't know how things are in Germany, but here there are more affectionate, human-loving cats than there are homes for because irresponsible people let non-neutered cats run around producing kittens, and some are killed everyday by brave shelter workers with no other options. And, unfortunately, Brigit is not an affectionate, human-loving cat ( ... )

As far as I'm aware we don't have to put down cats, which is a good thing!

But yes, if she's still half feral it would be difficult anyway. The only one on my flist who I think lives on a farm is Withywindle - but I think she moved a while ago. Do you know her? Maybe you could ask her.

There are similar neutering programmes for the Mediteranean countries where they have a problem with homeless cats. It's a shame that so many people are so irresponsible but it's great that you are devoting so much time to this!!! *big big hugs*
