So, my neighborhood has a big cat problem. There’s not a single day I’ve not seen a cat. In the backyard alone, there’s about 11 cats between the alleys that hangout behind our shed. We do feed them, because they’re animals what can they do ☹️. Now, I’m not sure what to do. I’m a teen and don’t drive yet, but my mom says she’s willing to help taking them to the get fixed with my city’s TNR program. Would it be better for these cats to be released or taken to the shelter? The issue is that they’re more on the feral side and they’re all black cats, so I’m afraid that if we try taking them to the shelter, the whole black cats and Halloween thing will affect them negatively. I hate that this situation has so many complications. I love animals and these cats deserve the best, but I know these cats may contribute to all sorts of environmental issues with birds, etc (though I live in a very urban area, so that’s probably not entirely applicable here) and that stray cats live through of all sorts of problems.
