Ask your vet for two doses of Strongid for each cat in the colony. Give one dose to each immediately (mixing it in food is OK) and give the other dose in 4weeks.

The medication they need depends on what type of worms the cats have. If you do try strongid, be sure to monitor the cats and make sure each gets the proper dosage. You don't want one cat eating multiple
doses! It's sometimes hard to administer unless the cats each out of their own plate. Also, the time between doses is usually 2 weeks. Cats who live outdoors will get worms repeatedly, so even if you
treat them, the parasites will most likely return and they will have to be treated again.
One other thing to remember, cats and kittens can get parasites from fleas, so you would have to treat fleas as well. Some cats do still have fleas, even in this colder weather. Ask the vet doing the spay/neuter about Droncit injections for the
cats. This is a one-dose treatment for tapeworm that the vet can give the cats while they are anesthetized. Another injection they can get is Ivermectin, which is good for roundworms and hookworms and does not have to be repeated. It's too late for the cats you already returned, but you can try this with any new cats you trap!
Good luck!

Panacur is a much better medication. You put it in their food for three days and then again in ten days. It covers all worms except tapeworms. It goes by weight and is usually dosed five lb increments.
