People Who Drop Stray Cats at Barns

Tweet

frustrate me to no end! I've trapped over 14 stray cats since I moved into my house, which is across from a barn. People see the barn and think that the farmer would just love their pregnant cat. Well, he wouldn't. He has his own barn cats and the abandoned cats come across the street and live in the woods and under the sheds here. They get attacked by foxes, nasty tom cats I haven't been able to trap and hoodlums who hike through the woods with paint ball guns. They get covered in deer ticks and get Lyme's disease before I can trap them and take them to the local no kill shelter. They attack my neighbor's cat, who hangs out on her patio during the day, and run up her vet bill. Please, if you have a cat you don't want any more, do not think you are doing it a favor by dropping it off at a farm. It has a much better chance of living at a no kill shelter. Thanks for letting me rant. I just saw another little cat with a big belly hiding in the hedge and checked around. It doesn't belong to anyone, so hopefully we can catch it before it has kittens to catch, too.
