Today was my first day of volunteering the Feral Cat Management Program. These are feral cats who are homeless. Someone usually is feeding them but they are too wild to become a pet.
A person will humanely catch the cat and bring him to be neutered. You have to make and apt and then catch them on the appropriate day.
There are two stations. They are given their sedation in the cage and then when they are quiet they ae taken out and given rabies, PCN and a long term pain medication. Some are tested for Feline Leukemia. Only one out of the 60 or so had that today.
Then the cats are shave prepped, have the operation. It is more involved for females because of the abdominal incision.
