These are 2 feral tom cats that came out of the woods to mate with my females one year… they stayed around for a whole year then disappeared…at first they were wary and hissed and arched…but after talking nice to them and feeding them i was able to pet both… the one at night (Night Panther we called him) had the silkiest fur of any cat I ever pet, until one of his kittens was born who was a black with red tint fur…same soft silky fur…
In my state, the government dog pound/animal shelters usually run a $20 spay/neuter clinic every month or so. Maybe check with your city or town to see when the next low cost neuter day is?
