    hi

    Wondering if anyone can help?
    We have stray cats hanging around the garden.... Dad started feeding 2 kittens stupidly a good while ago and now it seems their mother and 3 other kittens are hanging our garden. My mum is going mad!
    What is the least cruel way to get rid of them? We've tried not feeding them - is there any other way?

    cheers

    Contact your local spca or cat welfare organisation and see if they could at least trap netuer and return them. Rescues are always jammed packed so it would help if they could rely on the public to go half and half.
    Could only find this one http://www.irishanimals.ie/dogs/5.html
    It says they can no longer hold animals but I'm sure they would put you on the right track as regards neutering etc.

    If all else fails the most humane way is to trap them humanely and have them put to sleep by a vet, you may end up with other cats moving into their areas however and the cycle continues.

    Here's a link to spya and neuter
