Cats have just as much right to their lives as birds. Every animal does. The situation is not to have an "open season," which involves inhumanely hunting down and killing the cats. The solution is population management.
Since you want to do something about the problem, why don't you contribute funds to a feral trap-neuter-release group? If they're fixed, they can still live their lives but they can't create more of themselves, which is where the real problem lies.
Cat Ladies Society does a great deal of rescue from other shelters in this area including Columbiana Humane Society, Mahoning County Dog Pound and Animal Charity. You're welcome to contact any of these organizations and ask about the rescue work we do there. We also work with the new feral rescue group, TNR of Warren.
I encourage you to stop out at the shelter before making any decisions. We'd be happy to give you a complete tour.
If you know of any shelters we've missed in this area who need help, feel free to ask them to contact us so we can continue saving local cats.
This rescue was done because we happened to have room in the shelter, and no other group stepped forward to help, from here or locally in North Carolina. If it werent for the intervention of Cat Ladies Society, all 15 of these cats and kittens would be dead right now. A life is a life regardless of where they are.
Don’t judge a woman who tried to help more than most
