Officials say the felines repopulated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Animal health clinics encourage residents to participate in trap-neuter-return programs to combat rising cat populations. Gatherings of cats are also known as cat colonies – like the ones in Oakland. They are made up of two or more feral cats in the wild.
PetFix is a program that provides residents’ pets free or low-cost spay and neuter services. Officials say spaying and neutering pets prevents overpopulation and animal euthanasia. Kaplan recommended locals to look into their offers.

“It is believed cat colonies help combat pest infestation, like mice and rats.”
It is wildly irresponsible to make such a claim without an 18-month $11.5 MM study to prove this out. This is California.
Got their CD for my road music.
Those are the A’s players - they’ve severely cutting payroll.
A single stray cat showed up two years ago. He’s all I can handle. And afford to feed.
They’re headlining the next Day on the Green.
The very best cts are the ones who pick you.
Great band. Somehow, their rockabilly sound fit in the 80s. When I first heard them, I thought the 50s were making a comeback again.
At least the cats try to cover their crap up....
I had to change my sleeping position on account of him.
“It is believed cat colonies help combat pest infestation, like mice and rats.”
I have it on good authority that they don’t bother chasing mice around.

“The very best cts are the ones who pick you.”
Fourteen years ago, took my youngest to the pound to get a cat. She had her eye set on a pair of calicos (I did not want two!). I walked around the other side of the 2-tier cages, stopped to look across the room at some other animals, felt a tapping on my shoulder. I turned around, and it was a kitten on the second tier reaching out of her cage and tapping me. She went home with us...had a good run for 14 years. We put her down a couple weeks ago because of kidney failure. She was cold to everybody else...but that little girl loved me...and vice versa.
They must have gotten the idea from all the cats in the Roman Coliseum!
