[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a friend who lived in a neighborhood like this.  They would trap the cats and take them to places to get spayed/neutered and then re-release them. There are places that do it cheaply as it's their form of charity.

Also, I didn't know this before but they will cut a notch in the cat's ear (I forget if it's left or right).  That is so people will know if the cat has already been fixed, so they don't bring in a fixed cat.[/quote]

In my area in SoCal the Humane Society chapter here does all of this.

And they do a great job!  We go to San Diego during the summer and we take our 4 pandemic kitties.  This past summer, the youngest around 7 months, a girl, went into heat bc we couldn’t get a vet appointment before leaving DC.  Our other three cats are fixed including the two boys luckily.  All are strictly indoor cats.

Anyway, the girl, Ms Banana, who went into heat was yowling and yowling, trying to escape outside and doing what girl cats in heat do…. I was afraid that every stray intact male cat would come and surround the house but that never happened.  Our neighborhood in San Diego has a large feral cat population but no intact boys!  Ms Banana did not become an underage mom.  Hooray!  And we finally got a vet appointment to get her spayed.[/quote]
