Mange (mites)
There really is a happy ending for the cats with mange shown below. They are members of a feral colony that I TNR'd (Trap, Neuter, Return). The entire colony was treated with Revolution (for their mange) when they were under anesthesia for their surgery. I will follow up with medication in their food until the mange has been taken care of. Their quality of life will be so much better now that they have been spayed and neutered and are being treated for mange. The kittens were so thin due to the fact that they were having to expend so much energy scratching at the mange mites all day. Now the food that they are eating will go to build muscle instead of being burned off from fighting the mange.

I will continue to monitor this colony for any signs of mange and treat them as needed.

Feral Cat Management
Elevated tables to prevent other animals from eating the cat food. The tables need to be close to 36" high, otherwise, raccoons can pull themselves up onto the table. The table legs were purchased at Home Depot. The tables are 2' x 4' and I think they are about 1.5" thick. You MUST use machine screws, nuts, and large washers in order to properly attach the table to these posts. (Do not try to use wood screws.) Use the smooth round head of the machine for the top of the table. (If the machine screws are too long, you can just leave them long under the table and they will not be a problem. Be sure to buy screws that are not too short.) For the 'food guard', I just used old scrap molding and L brackets.
