Sorry, Bina, I'm clueless here. First time I hear of FeralStat. I'll google it and read up first. But I do admire what you're doing, though, trying to find out if you could "neuter" the strays in a less painful way.

I read somewhere that it causes diabetes in cats due to the hormonal thingy but then again, some brand of cat kibbles also causes kidney stones!
FeralStat is a synthetic progestin to postpone esterus in a cat. Method of introduction is through mixing of FeralStat with food and feed to the strays. A cat’s minimum effective daily dosage is approximately 0.04 milligrams. It has been prescribed for over 7 years and has been reported to be effective and convenient.
I emailed the org. and a Dr. (can't get his name though, American mah, talk fast on the voicemail) responded. So, before I call him back, I just needed some opinions, or if there's any questions to raise.
I did mention the cultural and religion taboos, that, sometimes forbids the neutering of cats and such alternative is a good option...
Guys/Gals, any opinion will be much appreciated!
