IMPORTANT REMINDERS: PLEASE KEEP CAT COVERED FROM THE TIME IT IS TRAPPED
UNTIL THE TIME IT IS RELEASED!
It is cruel, inhumane and against the law to take an animal to an alternate location and abandon it. It is extremely important to continue to feed and water your released feral cat daily. Left untended, stray and feral cats only live an estimated 1-2 years compared to 8 Ð 10 years in a ÒmanagedÓ colony where they are altered, fed and watered daily. Those unfed and cared for more easily succumb to predators, humans, dogs, other cats, disease and cars. If feeding and watering your feral is NOT an option, Forgotten Felines strongly recommends that your trapped cat be taken to a shelter where it will be HUMANELY euthanized, rather than have it live a life of malnutrition and foraging to stay alive.
