Yeah, we do plan on catching the males and getting them fixed first. The nearest place that fixes feral cats for free is a sixty mile journey, and of course we have to CATCH the cats and don't have any cat carriers. So it becomes quite difficult. We have spring break coming up in March (Hubby and I are both high school teachers) so we might make plans to try to get them all in, or at least the males, one day during spring break. We figure that if we get at least the males fixed, that's a good job. Pretty much there are three established tom cats in the neighborhood. (We name them all, makes it easier when referring to them)... Agent Orange, Pantera, and Twinkle Twin... and two of the grown kittens are almost certainly males, and there is at least one other that we are not certain of. We're pretty sure that the momma kitty, her calico daughter, and possibly the other one are pregnant. It will be easier with kittens to get them in to be fixed, and we will try to find homes for them. Good thing is that we do have good exposure to the high school students of this small town. Between us, with hubby teaching Biology and myself teaching math, we teach pretty much all the kids in the area by the time a four year span has gone by.

But yes, we'll do what we can to keep our lovely feral kitties around, but keep them without progeny.
