I recently started a GoFundMe account to help me Trap, Neuter and Release some feral cats I have been feeding for about 5 years. I have been in touch with several Animal Aid Societies, but they don't really have the funds to help me. Their spay/neuter vouchers go to the most needy who have pets they need spay/neutered.
With mostly help from generous DU members, I have raise enough to take care of at least 4 cats. I will start trapping in June when the mama kitties start bringing their new babies up to the food bowl. I need to make sure they are old enough to live on cat food, not mother's milk.
Here are some new pictures of some of the cats. These were taken today. Actually the cats are letting me get closer and closer. As they gathered on the front porch near their feeding time, I opened the door. As usual they scattered and hissed. But they only scattered about 6 feet this time.

(68,918 posts)Bella is a calico. For the first 5 years, she was aloof as heck, only wanting to spend quality time with our Sheltie Jessie and even hating on the sister she loved as a kitten.
Jessie passed away last summer. Bella is now a freaking cuddle bug...totally different cat except for her early morning "scratch-everything in the house" runs.
