Had to trap a kittie today.
I have had three semi-ferals that depend on me for food and hugs for about three years. A few days ago, an itty-bitty showed up as part of the colony. I knew he would need to be vetted, shots and all that, so I borrowed a kitty trap from my neighbor (who runs a cat rescue) and set it up last night. When I checked on it a about 2 am, sure enough, he was in there. I really hated to do that, but understand it is necessary for his greater well being if he is to return to my group of cats. I texted her and she said she'd be by first thing to take him to the vet. The funny thing is, he is just laying in there chilling out, no whining or anything. Even though I had a light blanket over the trap, I could still see his feet and belly.
I'll report back later today and let y'all know what the vet said.

ferals, but trap, vet and neuter them to stop the cycle of overpopulation. Feeding alone can often seem kind, but makes the core problem worse in the long run.
We love all animals. If my wife wasn't allergic to cats they'd be indoor kitties. Of course, our two dogs, a Bichon and Havanese might have something to say about that. 
TNR is a vital aspect of cat rescue, too often overlooked by those that feed ferals only. This guy (or girl) we'll know today for sure, will become a part of my three cat colony. They are all up to date on shots and spayed/nurtured. The cool thing is that everyone in the neighborhood knows them and are okay with them being around.
I extend my gratitude. This has been a really tough year for homeless kitties. There are SO MANY and the price and availability of cat food has been making it even harder for many. So,
