Humans are frequently awful. They do things to each other and the rest of earth's inhabitants that…read morejust don't make sense. I have a place in the country and, periodically, someone will abandon their cat or kittens or a pregnant mama cat on my land. They seem to believe that dumping these poor creatures into a strange environment to fend for themselves is somehow more humane than surrendering them to a shelter. It isn't. They starve. They get eaten by predators. They get hit by cars. They fight (resulting in injuries) and breed (faster than you can imagine) and get sick (lots of respiratory infections and parasites). People like me can't stand to watch that happen so we feed them. We make sure they have water. We trap them and take them to Alley Cat Advocates to get them spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and vet checked. We bring them right back to where they've been dumped or wound up after having the bad luck of being born feral. They live healthier, longer, more humane lives with someone looking after them as barn cats or community cats. My neighbors are aware of which cats have been TNR'd (Trapped/Neutered/Returned) by the universal ear tip that Alley Cat Advocates gives them. This helps us make sure that we don't send the same cats in for care repeatedly. Some of the neighbors help out by putting out feeding stations and shelter boxes. It's a community effort. Without the support of Alley Cat Advocates, we would not be able to help these animals. The work that they do to make the lives of community cats safer and healthier is crucial to the successful population control of stray and feral cats. We would be overrun with cats at this point without their low cost (sometimes free) spay and neuter services and several of the animals that have been dumped here would have suffered unnecessary illness and injury. If you're looking after a stray kitty or you've got a furry squatter in your yard or the parking lot of your business, give them a call. They can help you get that little feline snipped and vaccinated so that you don't end up with an entire colony (like me). If you just want to help them out, they are ALWAYS in need of donations to help with the cost of veterinary care and supplies for the work that they do. Please consider supporting their efforts.

You know, I understand that a lack of funding can lead to less than stellar community services…read more This is a ridiculous farce of a taxpayer funded amenity. We have this neighbor who had about a million cats. That's an exaggeration. There were dozens and they were breeding like, well, like dozens of un-spayed and un-nuetered cats. This wouldn't have been my business except for the sad and pathetic fact that they were obviously underfed and kept spilling over to our property. They ripped through trash cans and hung out on my porch and clawed at my back door. I called Animal Control. I was told that they had limited hours and limited staff and that I was more than welcome to catch the cats myself and keep them until one of the few days a week that I could bring them to the facility. First of all, I am not going to capture feral cats who may or may not be infected with rabies or any number of contagions and hold onto them for several days until I can make the journey with said cats in tow several miles to the animal control facility. Secondly, it is not my responsibility as a taxpayer to do so. Thirdly, my neighbors should have been (at the very least) cited for not properly caring for the animals. Several weeks after my complaint to Animal Control, someone came by the neighbor's house to inquire about the cats. The neighbor denied having any cats at all. None. Not a one. The many cats rubbing against the legs of the animal control officer were obviously the deluded imaginings of a nosy neighbor. Soon after, the cats started to disappear. I am hoping that they were shipped off to friends, family, or animal shelters.
