LOL if they did they did it stealth.
Back in 1994 our main barn (have two) was inundated with 27 cats due irresponsible druggies infesting property to the North of ours would not spend the time, and money to spey their cat. Lots of feral cats in the area due the creek that runs parallel to the back of our property provides ideal habitat for them. The cats/kittens collected at our barn as Mrs. RQSR to my dismay was up there feeding them. Well that of course is a BIG “Oh well”. Ain’t gonna get between a woman and her cats.
Made a deal with the local Vets, captured and ran all the cats through getting them shots, and speyed after checking for Feline Leukemia. Had to put down eleven, which left us with sixteen. Still have eight today of that original batch, and more from the damned druggies as they acquired another cat “Cali” of which we took her and her latest batch of kittens after the police rousted them off that property, and threw the guy in the hoosegow for Meth.
Can you imagine, It took fourteen years to get those druggies the “H” off that property of shacks, truck bodies, and illegal run down trailers, and junk openly doing Meth, and other drugs. I guess ‘cause we are not near many other folks out here the County didn’t think they were that important to tinker with. Pee’d us off BIG time. Only reason the County did anything with that property was because a developer wanted it. He built a house up there, sold it to a guy who lived there for two years, and walked on the mortgage. The place is vacant today, and that’s just fine with us.
Thank you for all the critters you’ve helped.
