Got a call about a couple of cat jobs in Leeds 14 today. I ended up going across to the first job, but with it pelting down with rain, pretty much knew it was a bust from the off. Cats and rain don't mix, when it comes to trapping. Cats aren't daft and if it's raining, even hungry, they will usually choose shelter over food. If it's raining, it is very rare you are going to catch/trap a cat. It's just a fact of life.
I did set up, but after 30 minutes called it day and re-scheduled to go back next week. Same for second job, which I didn't even go to, especially when the feeder said she hadn't seen the cat today! Again, re-scheduled for Monday.
I am due to help one of the FCW volunteers catch another 5 cats which have turned up at a factory where we did a big 15-cat TNR job a few months back. There is now some issue with how much the cost of the 5 new neuters will be and should the job be handed off to Cats protection. I am concerned if CP get involved they may not do the job in full as the volunteer has a history with the feeders at the factory. I have suggested we do the trapping and just let CP pay. I'll see what happens.
