Street Cat Colony
Donation protected
I have been feeding and gaining the trust of a colony of at least 4 cats in Blaxland, NSW. These cats are all non-socialised with humans.
Street cats live a pretty rough life as it is, and just one pair of cats can repopulate to 420,000 in a span of just 7 years.
My aim for this small colony is to trap and spay/neuter to stop the population immediately. These cats will then have some time in a safe home to settle, before being assessed behaviorally. If in a few weeks they show signs of settling down, I am willing to work on a long-term socialisation plan for them, or if they are older and show no signs of improving stress levels, they will be released back to the colony and will continue to be fed, however will no longer possess the issue of overpopulating. Every cat will be provided safety.
To carry out this operation, I will need assistance with funds.
Cost to desex is approximately $60-90 per cat
Cost for flea/worming is approximately $80 per packet, possibly ongoing.
Cost for microchipping is approximately $20 per cat
Cost for vaccinations is approximately $100 per cat.
These costs do not include food, litter or other unforseen vet bills. Any help in this will be humbly appreciated. I have taken in one cat already, but cannot continue to take any more without assistance.
