Editorial: Roses and thorns
[Scroll down to, excerpted]
ROSES: To anyone who comes up with a humane way to remove nearly 30 feral cats that have infested a Springettsbury Township neighborhood. Township officials aren’t sure they can do anything about them. The SPCA doesn’t have a contract with the township anymore, so it can’t do anything. And an animal rescue operation in Red Lion says these cats don’t qualify to be taken there. Neighbors say the cats have destroyed property and scared other animals away. Anybody have a good solution?

From The Animal Spirit
Permission to Crosspost

I am in the process of starting a feral cat caregiver support group. This group will answer questions from the public and write letters to the media and public officials on behalf of feral cats and their caregivers. I would also like to be able to network inexperienced caregivers with seasoned caregivers.

I understand that there are already feral cat advocacy groups, however, my goal is to create a very friendly, open community where caregivers can help and support each other, as well as encourage others to become involved with spay/neuter and feral cat care.

I am trying to compile a listing of feral cat caregivers throughout the United States who are interested in networking with other caregivers. For example, if an inexperienced person wanted to begin a Trap-Alter-Return project or adopt a feral, you would be willing to assist by teaching the basics, answering questions, and/or giving support.

You do not have to divulge personal information. All I need is your first name, email address, and State.

The list of caregivers will not be made public. It will be kept for situations where people contact me, via an upcoming website, who are interested in networking with another caregiver. You will not receive spam or be added to any mailing lists.

If this sounds like something that interests you, please contact FeralPlace@aol.com. Please type in the subject line "Feral Cat Support" so your email does not end up in the spam folder!

Thank you!

Are outdoor cats a problem?
The Oregonian, Portland, OR
Cat lovers throughout the Portland area were outraged when a family pet in Southeast Portland was euthanized after a neighbor trapped it and turned it over to the animal shelter. The neighbor said the cat was hunting songbirds in his fenced yard.
Trapping cats is legal for property owners; hunting birds is natural for cats. What should be done?

Who Let the Cats Out? / Bruce Schimmel
Cats are dear to many people, but perhaps just as many find them a nuisance. That’s because large numbers of stray and feral cats are running rampant in both rural and urban areas across the country. As Bruce Schimmel reports from Milton, Delaware, there’s a number of ways to thin the homeless cat population and some ways are more effective and popular than others. (8:30)
Florida’s Ferals
Feral cats living in an exclusive Florida community may be causing the near-extinction of an endangered species of rat. Guest host Bruce Gellerman speaks with Craig Pittman, environment reporter for the St. Petersburg Times. (4:00)

[Excerpt]
The Cat Lady of Carpinteria has a nice ring to it, but there isn't a single woman who can claim the title. There are many. You may know at least one: a neighbor with three pet cats and a garden filled with feline statuary, or the parent of your child's classmate who is always adorned with cat jewelry.

Canton collecting residents' answers to cat-control questions
by Martha Ellen, Times Staff Writer
[Excerpt]
CANTON - Village officials want to know what residents think about cats being out on their own. The village Board of Trustees will have a public hearing on cat control at 6:30 p.m. Monday but likely won't act until it gathers more public opinion based on a series of cat questions drawn up by Elm Street resident JoAnn Pfeil.

Text and photos by Les Inglis
[Excerpted]
"The cemetery has a large population of feral cats who look surprisingly healthy. At night they gather near the closed iron gates and animal lovers bring bowls of food and water for them. In the evening I counted at least twenty in view from the two gates in the front wall. In the day you see far fewer but they are in there somewhere just waiting for nightfall and another good meal."
