My best work currently is providing decent shelter, food, love and next on my list is medical. I have people that will help me TNR and get them to a vet but the fee is quite high. If I do it myself I belive it is 55.00 per cat.
As far as seperating the baby kitten from the mother I would have to do that if the mother or kitten had feline AIDS or leukemia . I would try to spay the females before the males. Because other feral males are able to enter the colony. As well as males from the same family.
There is no one helping me with the work. There is a local agency that offered me food and offered a day a clinic spayed and nutered the cats in some location I was unfamiliar with.
No shelters are accepting kittens at this time. With the economy not as many adoptions are taking place.
I love the ferals. They each have a unique personality and they would be missed.
My goal is to socialize them before I would adopt them or seek to adopt them out. And I don't want them to sit in a shelter in a cage waiting for a home.
Some ferals I believe from what I have seen and experienced are just not sociable with humans or adoptable.
