The bigger problem is the logistics. The not-so-low-cost spay/neuter clinic only fixes ferals one day a week, for a few hours in the afternoon, and I have to make an appointment with them at least a day ahead of time where I tell them stuff like the sex of the cat and what it looks like...... i.e. stuff I don’t know until after I trap the cat (if I trap one at all), which I don’t even know if I SHOULD trap a cat that far in advance since leaving a cat in a small humane trap for 24+ hours feels like an rear end in a top hat move. Because where the gently caress else am I gonna put it for that long? I don’t have a bunch of giant kitty cages lying around like the vet does.

Got out the trap today when living proof of our failure to adequately TNR this neighborhood showed up wet and squeaking on the doorstep. There's a mother we've been unable to trap who seems to have a habit of having litters of 1 which she abandons too early




It clearly needs a bath and grooming but seems to be a few days of trust exercises away from letting us near. It's soo tiny but its eyes are green so maybe 6 weeks? Eating solid food at least

She's super cute! Is there any way you can get the vet to move up her appointment? I wouldn't introduce her to your other cats until afterward. There are a lot of transmissible diseases ranging from minor to pain-in-the-rear end to fatal.
