Nope it's not the North East it is Yorkshire which is south of us here in the NE  ;D The North East is a specific region of its own - Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear and Tees Valley - small but perfectly formed  :rofl:

Well done on helping these cats  ;D

 :) Great stuff, CP will explain everything, they did me initially.  I have often had to wait if traps were out (and had various types) but usually they aren't too long - I suppose it depends how busy they are and traps available, but at least they've given you other contacts.  Good luck!

I think Mark was out recently on a feral trap too

do you have a Cat Action Trust anywhere near you, as they specialise in trapping ferals and arranging neutering

Hi Benlinz,

We had that problem where I live and what I did was contact our local CP.  I collected a trap and I trapped them gradually, I took them to the vets to get them spayed/neutered .  It has taken a while to get them all and I think there are still a couple around.  I didn't attempt to tame them, some kittens were found homes for but majority were released and three of us care for them I would say they are semi-feral now as they know us so well.

Feral dilema
« Reply #1 on: July 30, 2009, 00:07:41 AM »
 am currently seeking a solution to a "kitten problem" in my local area. large quantties of ferals/abandoned pets breeding out of control. I am currently attempting to tame these cats enough to arrange a trap neuter release for them. Any advice from someone who has attempted this would be greatly appreciated.

At least 5 who are currently happy to come within sight of my house, at least 2 of these are VERY young kittens (estimate 4-5 months)
