hello from the community! happy canteen gets a lot of food so if you want to donate i recommend checking out the less popular feeders. it is the most popular because mr fresh the meme cat who was adopted originated from there.

for those worried about the kitties every feeder has a different caretaker and some are more involved than others. from what ive seen a majority of the popular ones have either a dedicated caretaker or are involved with some business. unfortunately, you may come across feeders where the cats arent as cared for or where the caretaker lacks the funds to do so. to help with this the purrr app (where english speaking users can feed them) has a fund option where instead of feeding, you can support TNR or wellness treatments!

i forgot to mention these feeders just began entering the U.S. this year. there are several located in shelters and have helped many homeless cats find owners! hopefully they will continue to spread and help in communities that have stray cat problems

I noticed all the feeders seem to be similar / same. I'm in California, I feed 3 strays in an area where the average outdoor cat's lifespan is about 4.5 years (fires, traffic, hawks, coyotes, evil people).

Right now my process is very manual but it's a labor of love. All 3 cats only show up after dark. Ring stick up camera, bowls out (clean them every day), run out on a motion alert, etc. problem is I also have racoons, opposssums and skunks. (I'm not in L.A. highrises, I'm close to the ocean).

Where can such feeders now be purchased (US customer). Thank you!

Similarly, I've got 7 regulars and 4 to 5 more occasional visitors that I've been feeding and fixing (11 of them fixed so far) but there's issues with racoons and opossums - pretty sure they stole a whole litter, they taint the water and eat any food available.

My plan is something similar to this feed the cats thing - except, a twitch live stream of an fpv water turret in which they can "deter" those unwanted visitors.

dont quote me on this but also there are 2 documented feeder types and i believe the second one, the shelter feeder, is the one that came to the U.S. the purrrr owners are very kind and will probably give you information though or at least a date for when they might become more widely available. contact info here https://www.hipurrrr.com/

I am not sure. You could contact the owners of the english translated app and they might be able to help. Their information is on their website https://www.hipurrrr.com/
