Snip n Chip
Do your pet a favour and help them live longer by getting them desexed. If you can't afford it, please click desexing.spca.nz......
As they will help you.
Or your local rescue organisation.
As cats can revert to being feral away from people and cause more unwanted litters. Make sure you also have a decent job and be able to feed and nurse the cat post-surgery.
There's also pet insurance companies around which you can claim back a percentage of what you pay, if you have a policy. If you really love your pets, you can help them out financially.
Some feral cats can learn to trust humans again given time and patience with a quiet room. They will wind up showing more love than domestic cats. But the main thing is Snip for ferals also.
