Title: does anyone know of tnr organisations abroad??
Post by: Dawn F on June 24, 2008, 12:56:06 PM
back from Italy and shocked at the number of ferals, not something I've ever experienced before in 16 years of going there  - does anyone know if other countries have neutering organisations??  my oh actually wanted to bring home a torti kitten but I couldn't bring myself to look

thanks Dawn, it would be a great place to have a working holiday its only a couple of miles from Assisi so I wondered, because of St Francis, if there would be something local but just couldn't find out and was only there for 5 days

Barcelona also has lots and lots of ferals

If only we were vets....

We should approach a television company and see if they want to make a film about mad cat ladies holidaying abroad with their cat traps ..... ;D :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm not sure if all the organisations work the same but I know when we were going through, most did say that you had to have experience in trapping  :tired:  There must be a way round it as it's not exactly rocket science, I suppose all that's needed is common sense and knowing not to put your hands in with a feral cat  :shy:  Hopefully by next year, me and Lainey can get something sorted  ;)

that you had to have experience in trapping 


Like everything  you can not get 'experience' till you start the first time. Those with 'experience' didnt have it to start with .......everyome needs to start somewhere to bulid up to  get 'experience'


Could be interested in a working holiday lol

I know that and so does everyone else but this is one of the stipulations on most of the sites that me and Lainey looked at.  There must be some out there where experience isn't necessary, I'll have to look.

I'll come!  :wow:

If we manage to get something sorted, we'll let you know, it would be great if a few of us could go  :)
