Can FOAP help a feral cat colony I am feeding?
At times FOAP does receive funding to spay/neuter feral cats through foundation grants, however, we just don’t have the resources to do the work involved in trapping, feeding, and caring for these cats. We rely on the people who found them to do this. Almost all of our FOAP volunteers work full time jobs and then do volunteer work such as telephone, email, rescue, etc… in the evenings. If you are willing to spend the time to trap these cats and transport them to the vet we can have them vaccinated, spayed/neutered and then they can be released back to the colony (unless you trapped a young kitten, in which case we would help to place him/her). We can only do this if we have a commitment that they will be fed where they are. We do have humane traps and we can provide these, as well as support and advice. Caring for a feral cat colony requires a long term commitment and would require dedication.
