A Member of Our Local Cat Colony Found a Forever Home
The world seems a happier place today.
Today a stray cat found a home. I want to celebrate.
The number of stay cats in the United States, per the ASPCA, is estimated to be in the tens of millions. Obviously, every cat is not going to find a forever home.
The ASPCA endorses Trap-Neuter-Return-Monitor (TNRM) as the only proven humane and effective method to manage community cat colonies. A Closer Look at Community Cats
We moved into our house a little over a year ago. During our walk-through, we saw a cat in the backyard. I tried to pet him or her, but the cat jumped our block wall.
Shortly after moving in we realized there were areas of the yard that smell of cat pee.
The declaration page we received as part of our house purchase paperwork warned of a cat colony. We didn’t spend much time thinking about it. We love cats.
Anyone who has lived with a feral cat community no doubt understands the naiveté of this attitude. Shortly after moving in we realized there were areas of the yard that smell of cat pee. I am sure it smells of other things, but the cat pee overwhelms them.
