Feral Cats

Asok

There is a good few wild cats that hang around the back area of the apartment block I am in. Now most of them are fine and look to be well fed and even becoming a little tame but there is one cat that is in pretty bad shape, It looks to have really bad mange / some skin issue that is making its skin sore and fur fall off. Is there any group I can call to help it out? as I can't have pets in our apartment and really don't know what to do with it.

bring it to a vet,
many vets wont charge for strays

Can you get some food to it or if i got you a trap could you see if you could trap it then i can drop over and bring it into work, get one of the vets to look at it?

Do you know if they are breeding, cuz can get some of them spayed or neutered.. stopping there being anymore.

They are breeding and they are being fed by one of the other tennants in the block every now and then, Trapping it would be pretty easy except you could end up with about 10 cats in the trap heh.

No you couldn't end up with 10 cats in a trap the traps close after one cat triggers it. This colony will only get bigger if they are not spayed and neutered.

It is best to TNR - Trap Neuter Return

I'm dealing with a massive colony in Dun Laoghaire at the moment. If someone doesn't TNR, you're going to have a big problem on your hands. It's best to talk to the other owners & try to nip it in the bud now.
