Norwich animal charity spends nearly £3,600 to trap and neuter a 40-strong feral cat colony
Überblick
The Cats Protection charity in Norwich has spent nearly £3,600 safely trapping, neutering, and providing medical care for a 40-strong colony of feral cats found near Loddon in Norfolk. Residents raised welfare concerns in July regarding the growing clowder. While colonies are becoming more common, this is the largest group the Norwich branch has encountered. One kitten named Atlas required both eyes to be removed due to a condition called entropion. The charity is now appealing for donations to help cover the costs and will continue to monitor and feed the colony to ensure their ongoing health.
