This is something I'd never heard of before. Anyone familiar?
I saw this post on the community bulletin board at Tractor Supply.
I'm not altogether sure how it works. I have mice, but I'm really only worried about the ones inside. I assume, though, that they don't live in the hose, and that if they're being hunetd outside, they won't come inside. Also it would be nice to be able to help out a cat, and bonus if it's friendly, even if it won't come inside.
I'm not sure what the process is, though, for putting a feral cat somewhere and getting it to understand "you live here now" when they point is for it to be a free range cat.
If you're interested and can't make out the contact information on the sheet, it's BarnCatsGeorgia@gmail.com or 706-343-8173
When I googled it, I saw Gwinnett county also has a program.
