Birth control

Question
Karen,
We feed several feral cats that live outside.  Last year one brought us a litter.  We found homes for all and we keep two.  We do not want to go through this again.  Is there any pill form of birth control that we can put into her food.  We desperately need help.

Thank you,
Margie Jo

Answer
Hi Margie Jo,

There is no oral contraceptive for cats at present. The prescribed method of controlling a feral population is TNR; trap, neuter, and release. You will need to trap her and get her neutered. This is the only way to do this. Contact your local vet . A lot of vets will help out in this matter. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
