Hope someone has some words of wisdom or some prayers. Here's the background:
I recently learned about a situation through a feral meetup group I belong to. There are 5-6 kittens and a mama cat living under a trailer at a school. There are 1-2 other adults in the area as well (obviously at least one male). A teacher has been trying to get help for a few weeks to trap them with no luck. The school got mad last week because of the fleas that are now everywhere and called a pest control company that came out and sprayed for fleas and is planning on trapping all the cats and having them killed.
I contacted the teacher this AM and told her I can trap tonight and tomorrow night - she is willing to foster the kittens -about 8 weeks old she thinks. I can work with other contacts I have regarding the adults. She has a master key and will let me in but there are security cams and obviously she doesn't want to lose her job and they already know she is involved, or has been but they told her to get out of it now.
So she is going to talk to the principal and see if they will let me trap them instead. I told her to tell them I will sign a release, the fleas will be gone, the cats will be alive and they won't have to pay a dime. I am worried that they are going to say forget it and all the cats will be trapped and killed.
Any ideas???
