I just found out the other day that the strays I've been feeding DO belong to the neighbors in back of us: this includes Indigo, Sneakers, Ricochet, and a few others.
While I was feeding them their breakfast the other morning, the woman who lives there saw me, and proceeded to say that they were HER cats. I told her I wasn't sure whose cats they were, and I was feeding them b/c I can't stand to see any animal go hungry. She didn't seem to give a
one way or another as to whether or not I was feeding them: as a matter of fact, I got the impression that as long as I WAS feeding them, then SHE wouldn't have to.
She also brought up the fact that she now has even MORE kittens, and she's "trying to get rid of them."
So the endless cycle will go on and on and on..
My plan was to take in each cat one at a time, to get spayed/neutered. But now I don't know if I have the "right" to, knowing that the cats belong to her. But I also don't feel as if I can just stand by and watch these obviously irresponsible people, who would rather buy beer than to spend their money on taking care of their pets, not do anything to take care of keeping their cat population under control. I've lost track of just how many cats they now have, which will just continue to breed b/c they won't do the responsible thing.
I don't know what to do..
I'm at a loss.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
