Tips for all feral cat feeders

The Cat Family Foundation has provided readers with tips on how to care for feral cats found in their area.
Please note that this is done at your own discretion.

•  Try and estimate how many kittens and cats you can see.
•  Make sure that there is nothing that might be able to harm them.
•  Find someone on the property that you can speak to regarding how long they have been there or anyone who feeds them.
•  Find out if they have shelter.
•  Make contact with any of the listed carers from Cat Family Foundation.
•  See if you can put out a plea for some shelters, bedding, feeding and water bowls.
•  Start a feeding routine of kibble as well as soft food so that they get used to being fed by you.
•  Find a partner to help you feed the colony as it’s a lot of work for one person.
•  After a week you should be able to set a trap date so they can be TNR (Trap, Neutered and Returned) to the colony.
•  Name the cats – it helps when you need to tell a fellow feeder about a particular kitty.
•  Name your colony and love them.
