The Community Cats of Savannah are still getting spayed and neutered to control reproduction. We ended this year's SNAC pickups with 28. They were both domestics and ferals. The Tybee trapper had been out making sure traps had cats in them! Thank you Marie and caretakers. We finished up (maybe a couple of stragglers) this year strong and are looking to an even more successful 2012.

Where does time go?
A friend pointed out that she had read my blog. I thought what blog? Then remembered when I made lots more time for computer stuff I had written a couple of posts. Then you know what happened.......cats needing to be trapped and craziness and mayhem ensued.

Rain Rain
Well last night, the rain won and I only caught one cat. But it was one from one of my colonies that was a visitor and hung out on the edge of the group - only coming up to eat after I had left the area. I had decided to try if I saw him - well as I pulled into the drive of the complex, I spotted him. Called the other ones with their usual Meow - here they come hungry and as usual Tiger (the original Fat Boy) is leading the pack - talking and explaining how I should feed him hourly. LOL
As I set up the trap - the gang of 6 watched with that look of OH NO You're not getting me again. I set the trap on the path he uses and baited with some sardines. Well of course that got everyone's interest - all checked it out even walking a couple of steps in but not getting anywhere near the trip plate. Well, here he comes, checks out the smell - tastes some of the "snackies" I had left as a bread crumb trail. He checked out the entire outside of the trap, then slowly made his way in. He set the trap and was totally unaware he was caught - food was keeping all of his attention. I walked up and he was not HAPPY. Hissing and slapping at me before I could cover the trap. I set him beside the truck in the shade - I could hear him rocking the trap while I fed the others. Transported him to the holding area and checked on him periodically to make sure he was doing ok. All is well - he will be neutered by SNAC (Spay/Neuter Alliance and Clinic in Ridgeland, SC) and released Tuesday evening.
With the storms around Savannah and lots of lightining, there were not many cats willing to be trapped. I was trying for several at 3-4 different locations - the stragglers that are really trap shy.
A couple of the other trappers caught several. So we're definitely going to break the 200 mark this week, which is the half-way point to our goal of 400 ferals spayed and neutered for 2007.
Remember Spaying and Neutering really does save lives.
