A little background for the new here, I work for a clinic that performs spays and neuters for a feral cat group. They trap feral cats for us to neuter and treat if needed. A week ago we were brought four cats. The first was a male that we neutered. The second was a cat missing half of his right rear leg. The doctor had to amputate the rest of it( good thing it was a slow day). When we got to the third cat we were in for a surprise. As we prepared to inject her with an anesthetic a noticed something else in her cage. It was a newborn kitten only minutes old. She went on three kittens. We sent her home to be fostered and to be spayed at a later date.

Such a amazing job you and your coworkers do! My heart breaks for all these feral cats!
Generally most cats are in good shape when they vie in. Unfortunately some have FeLV, FIV or injuries from fighting or other animals
Ah, poor baby that had its leg amputated! I all animals with any disability, so sad :sob: Anyway, that’s a lot of TNRs! I’ve seen some videos where a few clinics do a bunch of TNRs, and send ferals back to where they came from or to foster homes.
This is the second TNR that required an amputation since we started participating. Just goes to show you how hard it can be as a feral.
