One of my tenants has pretty adopted a stray cat that's been hanging around (his owner left him when he moved). HOWEVER, she refuses to make him an indoor cat (oh, but he's so happy outside) and refuses to have him neutered (she's too broke and too busy). I am planning on writing it into her lease when she renews that NO unneutered or unspayed pets are allowed, but what about until then? I'm frankly pissed that she's being so irresponsible - there are feral cats in the neighborhood, and yes, I think it's disgusting that there's an unneutered cat probably spraying all over my house.
I know people here may disagree with keeping cats solely indoors - I read that thread - but suggestions relating to that are welcome too. I've shown her the statistics, but she doesn't care - just says he's happy outside. But if I can tame a feral and make her a very happy indoor cat, anything's possible.
I am not local, so I can't go over and take him in for surgery myself. Sent her some low cost s/n places, but again - can't help with the "I'm too busy" part. She has six months left on her lease and I'm in fear for both the female cats in the neighborhood and my flooring/walls.
