    A Big Worry :-(

    We got a letter in the mail Saturday stating the park will be under new management as of 7/06. We are now worried about how they will work with us taking care of the cats. We heard they are already getting rid of most of the chickens. Let’s hope these new people will work with us as well as the others have. At least we have till the middle of next year to continue!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Lisa, I do hope the park will stay as it is, with all the kitties taken care of. Do you have any reason to fear they're gonna change anything? At least you have time to plan what to do about it.

    Fister and I will keep all paws and fingers crossed for you and the kitties.

    If You Don't Talk To Your Cat About Catnip, Who Will?

    I'm sure you'll have a lot of support from people who know you, and hope things go favorably for the cats. Where are the chickens going, and why? I love chickens (my kitchen is decorated with plenty of them) and if we were zoned for them, I'd love to have a few hens. I'd start searching for all your best articles on why feral cats that are fixed can be beneficial to the area, and print them up.

    Oh dear, Lisa, I can see why you are concerned! Surely the new owners won't want to disappoint all of the local people who have been so supportive of what you have been doing! I hope and pray that things will be just as they are, and your wonderful service and mission will be able to continue!

    Hugs,

    Oh Lisa, I understand your concerns. Is there anyway that the person who is in charge now can talk to the new people in regards to the cats??

    Big time prayers on the way that this will not change a thing for the cats.

    Yes, what everyone else has said! I sure hope the new owners are "cat people" and will be supportive of everything you have worked for!

    Thanks everyone! We're getting all our ducks in a row for the "just in case". We have a couple awards from the City recognizing this, articles, and just proof at the park on how well this has worked for them and the cats.

    As for the chickens, I guess the park is getting over-whelmed with them (there's around 300 there) and they will donate them to a local egg ranch farm.

    I will keep eveyone posted on this.

    A big worry

    This is not good news! You work so hard to keep the kitties fed and healthy. Is there a petition we can sign? Who do we write to or e-mail? Tell me what I can do to help! I can't help but think of the beautiful ferals you recently posted.....

    I thought the same thing about a petition. If this is necessary I will get it started here!!!

    I just got this note from the current Management. This really scares me:

    "No. Sherry and I are not a part of the city Grand Plan, what ever that is. Thanks for all your help and devotion to the cats. Hopefully you will be able continue. The animals are our great concern, I don't know what the Parks and Recreation policy will be. We will be around through the spring.
    Later,"
