Help with Stray Cats

RE: Help with Stray Cats Post By nina (Guest Post) (07/30/2008) I've also heard citronella oil works (outside!), but avoid using it on cement or similar surfaces as it will stain.

A good shot to the rear will discourage him from spraying around your property.

Not harmful but the surprise.shock will deter him from coming back as he will then associate your porch with the surprise. You may need to do it a couple of times.

They are in need of medical care then they will be put up for adoption. It is inhumane to force a cat to go outdoors, these kitties will be better off in a loving family.

You might consider spraying the porch and surrounds with undiluted vinegar. You'll have to redo every day or two for a while (or if it rains), but it's better than the smell of cat urine! If this doesn't work, you may want to put mothballs by each corner of your porch. Good luck!

Sometimes the local humane society will loan these out. Then get him neutered. There are feral cat rescues that can help with costs, but neutering is fairly cheap anyway.

I have the same problem and it really works. Also it won't hurt anyone, it will just annoy the cats until they find other places to go. Report Spam or Abuse
