I can’t think of much that infuriates me more than cowards who drive past me yelling, “Stop feeding the cats! You’re making the mess worse!”
They don’t stop to talk.
I have been registered as a feral cat caregiver with the Hawaiian Humane Society since February 2005. I signed a contract to feed, spay/neuter, microchip and provide medical attention to the cats in the colony I registered.
When I started, there were 25 to 30 cats in the colony. People from an awesome cat organization helped me to get them all spayed/neutered and chipped.
The last cat from that colony died a month or two ago. But I have a newer crop of about nine cats, because people keep dropping them off — not because the cats I feed had kittens.
Why don’t people yell at the owners who don’t get their cats spayed/neutered, then advertise “free kittens,” or drop them off in parks and on roadsides?
