I have a drive in hay loft that I had an cat sized opening cut into one of the doors. Cats can get in there for some safety and warmth. There's food in the barn. I catch the cats who want human interaction. There is a spay/neuter program for these cats at a reduced price. 4 of the cats here were born to a stray in my barn. The other 2 were kittens looking for help. These next 2 are also wanting help.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915962999372304054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-58420326966685427562024-03-15T09:10:13.808-05:002024-03-15T09:10:13.808-05:00Dora, I just found you comment in spam.
