Kind of like a neighbourhood improvement tax!

There is a town somewhere in the USA - I forget which - where the trap/neuter/return program eliminated the stray cat problem.

A quote from one site:

Here is a link to a couple of places: http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/loca...og/feral_cats/

Also see here! http://www.alleycat.org/wheretnr.html

For a fraction of the taxpayer's $$, and with volunteers, neighbourhoods and areas can be totally feral-free...no new wild kittens.

Surely some folks in your area might get on board with this? And ask the nasty neighbours to donate?

Think about it....
It's a great idea, Candace! When I was actively involved in rescue, the word spread quickly and people were even trying to drop off chickens at my place! I had to get on my soap box and talk to them about altering their animals and taking responsibility for it themselves. This could definitely help solve the problem. You're always thinkin', aren't ya, girl? You should've been a P.I.
