Would you stop feeding a stray cat because your landlord told you that you had to?

You may want to guide the mama cat out of site to a new feeding location and be very discrete with feeding her. You have the right idea, in that she needs to be spayed. It may still be possible to get her in a trap.

If you set a trap and tie the door open and feed her in the trap for a number of nights, you can eventually untie the door so it closes on her. To lure her into a trap, try Kentucky Fried Chicken original recipe. You may want to recruit the support of a local cat rescue organization.

For feral cats, the best national resource is Alley Cat Allies. They can help you find a local organization that specializes in feral cat TNR(Trap Neuter Release). alleycat.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=191.

Consider contacting a feral cat rescue in your area and tell them about the situation. Often they have methods for assisting stray cats that require special tricks of the trade. As for myself, I would have trouble not feeding the cat, but it woudl scare me to death to risk getting kicked out for not following the landlord's instructions not to feed her.

The feral cat rescue or humane society would be the only choice in my opinion.

Yes, the cats homeless I wouldnt want to be homeless too!

I won't stop helping the cat. :( I'm a cat lover myself and I feed stray cats too just outside the building of my work. Maybe I'll just try to catch the cat and if I did and she really can't stay then I think I'll have to drop her near an animal shelter.

I would promise to visit her often though. But if I happen to catch her and could keep her instead, I will keep her. :) I hope your landlord won't pull those stunts anymore to that poor cat.

:( She doesn't deserve that... :(.

Call animal control/feral cat place/no kill shelter...regardless of landlord, you aren't doing the cat (or the world) any favors letting her reproduce at will.

Lure her in with some cat nip or some really tasty food, catch her and drop her off at the vet, and because you could probably get kicked out if you don't listen to your landlord I would just like leave her in a cat carrier in front of the vet's office and leave and then it can be their problem they will deal with it.

I would tell the landlord to take a hike. He can tell you his expectations for the degree of cleanliness inside your apartment or house, and he can tell you how long you have to shovel snow or mow your lawn, but he doesn't have any right to tell you you can't feed a stray cat as long as you don't bring it inside your home.

As a landlord myself, I would be pissed off if a tennant told me they would not stop feeding the strays in the neighborhood. NO PETS means none outside or inside. Cats Crap all over the property and stink it all up then in turn they attract more cats.

I would evict the tennant. No questions asked!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
