I work about 5 miles from Foster City, so this is great news to see our communities getting exposure for what they are doing!

I *believe* and I could be wrong..that this is a case of the wildlife group and TNR group coming together to find a viable solution....which is amazing given how many instances of wildlife versus TNR we find.

Beyond amazing! Cats are not responsible for the dwindling bird population- man's encroachment into outside areas, pesticides and pollution do more harm than outside cats do. Cats that are starving (and many feral cats are close to that) cannot hunt. They don't have enough energy. Only well fed colonies and house cats have the stamina they need to hunt birds.
