@ThreeWishes I am enabling you from Australia to de-ball and keep One Eyed Pirate Pete.
If anyone asks where their neglected tom has gone, just tell them he was stolen by an Australian.

I am happy to hear this!
I have an appointment to go to my regular vet w/ one of my seniors for his annual tomorrow. Our usual vet at this practice has retired, so this will be my first visit with the new Dr. I plan on asking (but not expecting anything) what their policy is for ferals and if they can offer a discount for an existing customer (me) who wants to TnR. Can’t hurt to ask right?

I would have completely understood (and paid) without a discount but was pleasantly surprised to learn there was one.

I’m so stressed. Chessie has been on the porch EVERYDAY for the past month. His appointment is tomorrow at 8:30. I set up a crate and bought litter and a box with the idea I would scoop him up when I got home this afternoon and have him ready to go locked in a room away from my dogs (and without food or water after midnight). He’s MIA as of right now. Jingle that my one eyed ginger pirate shows up.

Thank you. I’m in tears. My SO keeps saying he will show up. The anxious negative part of my brain says different.
His place is waiting. I hope the vet isn’t mad if I cancel and will let me make another appt if he returns. The old spay neuter release program addressed this problem. No appt. just be there before 8 am if you managed to trap the stray.

Yay Chessie!
My barn is currently trying to shoo a wanderer home. Young black cat came around a month or two ago and was all over us, and didn’t want to leave. Working student posted notices all over the place, but no bites. After BM saw her eating horse grain she started feeding her, and we were all excited to have the new place’s first barn cat. WEEKS later, turns out she belongs to folks up the road and they came and got her. She showed up again this week with a fresh collar, shaved leg spot, and ear notch… and again didn’t want to leave. BM gave her a ride home and was strongly reminded “not to feed her” (we hadn’t). Sorry folks, guess we’re just more fun?

I know he is all caught now but I wanted to respond to this.
When I scheduled a neuter with my vet for a feral cat (not touchable), I explained it was contingent on trapping the cat and they were fine with the fact that the cat might pick that night to not go into the trap to eat so I might have to cancel in the morning.
I am sure your vet would feel the same way in this situation if you had not caught this handsome boy.
Jingles for a successful surgery!
