News reports such as those found when searching "Adelanto kittens drown" and "euthanize foreclosure pets" (one among many is June 25, 2008, "Abandoned homes mean abandoned pets" www.vvdailypress.com/news/pets_7143___article.html/valley_victor.html make one hesitant to contact Animal Control. (first example may be exception rather than the rule, but still...)
http://www.hesperiaanimalhospital.com/ offers alternative way to limit litters of kittens, for "minimal fee". However, since I can't catch feral cats & kittens OR take them to such a hospital, I need assistance--like loan of cages, transportation or simply information on how to at least "catch & release" feline families, if forever homes can't yet be found for them all.
Perhaps posters or flyers in areas where they go for meals might alert people feeding them (as in picture book "Six Dinner Sid" by Inga Moore http://catalog.lapl.org/cgi-bin/show?28303) that these cats need homes, healthcare, "guardians". Kind of opposite to the release into wild for loved "Christian the Lion", current sensation on YouTube.
At Christmas time, one of cats described in previous posts was killed by otherwise friendly family dogs: apparently sweet cat was so hungry & cold, it tried to seek food & shelter that dog owners provided for their pets. Hope it doesn't ever happen again. Can you help?
