Just spayed/neutered 8 feral cats!

I've been trying for 9 years to get some help and finally help arrived! It's Meow or Never is helping me to trap, neuter and release the dozens of feral cats I have been feeding since i moved in.

I have watched litter after litter being born and the kittens disappeared one by one. I finally caught a few on my own, had them fixed and tamed them down. But couldn't afford to do the whole bunch.

This organization traps/neters/releases. They give them rabies shots. They de-flea them. They get a physical and they do all this at no cost.

This is a great organization.

Went through the same thing here for years. Just too many ferals. Then last year found a local group, Magic Cats, who does the same. Since I was already feeding many in my yard, it was easy enough to trap them and get them fixed. Many then get adopted and those that don't can come back and hang around but they can no longer reproduce. Win/win!

Thank you so much for doing what you can.

source for ferals in my area of N. GA. I have traps and and have helped many folks trap ferals, but find a refuge for them is almost impossible. We have been able to place barn cats with some programs, but there are still so many in need. Will check out this program.

It's far better to get ferals altered than it is to let them have litter after litter of kittens who will never know love.

and a very skinny mother. I felt so badly I paid for it myself (while an unemployed artist...not easy). I even got them adopted (mom included). Happy ending.

Potentially one less litter I was going to have to fix, worm,vaccinate, test and get rehomed. So a big THANKS for helping out with the cat overpopulation problem!❤❤❤❤❤

but didn't have the funds to neuter momcat, or trap the two feral toms in the area. So nice that you found someone to help out.

Interestingly, itsmeowornever.org and meowornever.org appear to be different sites ??
