This weeks’ TNR & Sterilisations:
Katie trapped a young female from Belvedere, luckily she didn’t show signs of having any kittens currently, she was spayed and returned home. Also with great help from a client in Mandara we trapped a big tom cat - unfortunately he had lost his left eye most likely from territorial fights - he was otherwise very healthy so was neutered and returned.
Lorna trapped a mum and her 3 kittens from a property in Highlands - Lorna had trapped here before TNR’ing 8 however the main mumma cat had evaded Lorna’s traps. We thought she had disappeared. Last week the client told us she was back and had 3 more kittens - luckily they were old enough to sterilise too and mumma cat was very protective of them - all 4 were easily trapped. Hopefully finally we have ended the cycle for this colony.
Lorna also TNR’d another mumma cat and her 3 kittens from a colony at Borrowdale racecourse. They are living very happily there and are very healthy - so that’s another cycle ended this week 💪🏻
Please if you see kittens - think about where mum cat is - it is vital we trap and spay her so she doesn’t have anymore litters - if you just try and catch the kittens you are not getting to the root cause of the problem - females can have up to 4 litters a year. Please help us end the cycle and improve the lives of community cats.
Total sterilised to date : 3,703
