Hi Everyone,
What sickens me is a feline rescue group that just traps without following proper TNR protocols. When we trap, any area, we walk three blocks in each direction telling people we will be trapping. Next, any cat we trap that has an ear tipped we release from the trap where they were trap. Once we get them neutered or spayed we hold them until they heal. Once they are healed we return them to the area where we trapped them. That is their home. After that, we take care of them for the life of the colony.
There was a totally unprofessional group that trapped and removed the cats. At least three of those cats are pets and the owners are heartbroken. God only knows where they are and Bethlehem should be held responsible. They have a contract with a local clinic to trap and fix the cats. However, they are supposed to be returned not removed.
This is what I say to other feline rescues. If you do not follow or know proper protocols for TNR you do not belong out there. You are hurting people and making those of us, that do follow protocols, seem like heartless people. Stop what you are doing and contact us and we will teach you how to do TNR the correct way. Just because someone has been doing something for twenty years, does not mean they are doing it correctly.
Below is a picture of Monty who was stolen by a feline rescues. If anyone has seen Monty or has info about Monty, please contact us at the number below.
God bless,
