Actually Prep, they'd be better off humanely put down than left to fend for themselves, become ill or become a victim of another animal. These cats are just continually breeding (and inbreeding most likely) which is not healthy and can produce sickly kittens.

I suppose it's nice to think that by allowing the cats to reside in barns is a good idea but I think technically they are "your" cats and you have a responsibility to care for them. I don't disagree with "barn cats" but I don't think they should be allowed to breed at will and not have some medical attention.

I've given up on trying to convince people the multitude of cats they see laying about the place are not "barn cats" but I do consider them "my" cats. Most importantly of all, they are my spayed and neutered cats.

Talk about mean red karma, get a load of this:

um... Geek, sweetheart, that's not cruel, that's the natural order of the universe before man/woman decided to step in and "domesticate" cats. Animals eat animals everyday and cats are in-fact animals.

Ahh..don't worry about it. People are jerks and those of us that tirelessly devote ourselves to animals are anything but attention whores. I could care less what they say to me. I wake up loving my dogs and cats (and my new foster babies) and can't wait to get home to see them every night.

And to the karma giver who gives me the disgusting peanut butter karma, you're overdue..he's a target for you.

Wow that was quite nasty, I got called an attention skank in my red karma... Guess it was left by the same person. In the meantime, my "barn cats" are fixed and utd on their vaccinations. The kittens mentioned in this thread I'm sure aren't most likely even old enough at this point. This thread was to help find them homes.

You do not think people should spay and neuter their pets.

not so sweet kittens need homes!!! Ok, they are sweet. Reply to Thread

I don't want to get caught up in all the various opinions being discussed. I just want to say that low-fee spays and neuters are available by contacting some of the local rescue groups and hospitals. Financial assistance can be made available to low income pet owners too.
