At least it might give her a better chance at adoption than just wandering the neighborhood. And the other thing I was thinking is that it might be more merciful if that's the outcome....how many more feral cats will she breed that won't get a home or properly taken care of? There's no good option here, but maybe the shelter is the least-worst. As much as I hate the thought of euthanizing an innocent animal, giving her to the shelter might be your best option.

Even if there is, it doesn't solve the problem of not wanting an outdoor cat. You wouldn't believe how many cats have appeared in our yard since we started feeding this one. It's like they tell one another about the food! @ Mitch: Great idea, but I think we both know what would happen to her. :P @ Ashley: I’m not sure if there is a program like that in our small town, but I’ll look into it.

It's a tough situation for you because it is dangerous for your cats. There are lots of people who love cats and will take one in if they have no home. Also, I don't know about where you live, but the Humane Society here has a partnership with several area vets who will spay/neuter for $50--that's worth looking in to, I think.

I don't think any of the shelters in our area are no-kill, either. @ Jessica: We do, but they are so full of unwanted animals right now that the chances of her making it to Petsmart are not good.

The one near us takes them, give them shots, has them spayed or neutered and then puts them up for adoption at a local Petsmart. That is how we ended up with all three of our cats.
