I was hoping that the kitty's would have a chance at adoption , guess not and that hit's me hard .
I had moved in this mobile home park some 8 years ago and the first thing i noticed is that the stray cats
seemed to be a problem . My next door neighbor was an 90 year old lady "Ruth" who had been in this park since 79 .
i would see 15 to 20 cats run up to her at around 6 every night for food . Ruth had no children and her husband
died in the 70's and her only family was up north . I would watch out for Ruth as alot of us did here . I got
married 5 years ago and my wife wanted a pet . I took 2 of "Ruths" cats for my own . i Had them Spayed and tagged .
I had made a deal with Ruth that when i could afford it i would take one or 2 cats at a time and have them fixed
and tagged . I believe before Ruth left us i had taken care of around 10 cats , all female to stop the population
The park manager was fine with what i was doing to help control the cats . Ruth has been gone 2 years now and her
cats come to my place now and a few other houses . The park has a new manager who dosen't care for cats and wants
them gone . I try to explain to them that the majority of these cats are left behind when someone moves out so they
are not wild bad cats . The park manager has been calling animal services on me for awhile now and they just left me
tickets on my door .I am not a wealthy man and these tickets hit hard . I've been finding some of these cats homes
and the population of new kittens has just about stopped . If anyone reading this wants or knows anyone or a shelter
that would accept some cats or even 1 you can PM me. I understand everyone has a job to do so i am
not upset at animal control , i just don't want to take them to animal services where they have no chance - Pictures
available if interested ,
Thank You ,
Clifton
