trapping

with raccoon, sharing what little food there was.

Attempts were made to trap the cats for several weeks. Mosquitos, darkness, frightened cats, hostile residents, personal issues, raccoons, made the challenge even more difficult. Some of the cats had kittens by now (it was "kitten season") and those were the easier ones to trap, spay, and release back to the group.

This is the "new generation" eating on the side of the hill.

The bottom photo taken by cell phone shows several raccoons and 1 cat all eating. ugh. The raccoons scared me. And vice versa.
