The Strays We've Brought In:
ALL Strays that we've caught, are critters that we've either received calls for that were sick, a menace in the garbage or ones that we've watched for some time. As of March 2007, we've rescued 160 animals!
One of our priorities, was to catch the females, so as to hinder further unwanted births and even though our own funding has been close to nil over the past two years due to the ongoing opposition, we have hindered approximately the birth of over a thousand stray cats!
For some of the strays that have been a menace due to garbage picking, we encourage folks to use closed garbage cans to hinder inviting hungry animals - and not just strays - we are afterall, a rural shelter and wild critters do roam about.
We've built outdoor shelters where we do drop offs 3-4 times a week of dry food to assist in keeping up their health and to hinder them from getting into garbage. This method also helps us befriend the strays, as they grow accustomed to our scent - this helps when it comes time to catch them and bring them in.
