Anyone Near Bridgeport Connecticut??? HELP!

[QueenScoopalot]

Way to go Donna! I'd love to know who the tenant who was evicted is as well...as she is going to start up the same crap,in a different location. And it's good to get incriminating testimony from the landlords mouth that can be used in court..otherwise well...you know how the court system works in America. Wonder if there's a form sheet that could be made up for him to sign? Something like I (landlords name) allow such & such an orginization to remove said cats evicted from property at (address)... The only way he'll get prosecuted is via some sort of document that states he threw out the cats etc.

He CLAIMS he called Animal Control. But according to BCP, the guy never does anything when cats are involved but call them. Nice, huh??

[QueenScoopalot]

If he did, animal control should have some record of it. I'd still love to know where the tenant went, and if she took some of those unaltered cats with her, or if they were all left behind and dumped outside? After all, she's as much at fault as he (the landlord).

I've been in touch with Wendy from the Bridgeport Cat Project. She has put in several calls to animal control and they have not called her back. We're giving them till 5 pm tonight and then we do a media blitz (tv stations, newspapers). We have GOT to get these cats off the streets by Sunday before the expected snowfall. We're trying to get a group together from BCP to go there on Sunday with traps/carriers to see how many cats/kittens we can get.

We've notified the State of CT of the situation and will be filing a complaint eventually, against the landlord AND the Bridgeport ACO. But first we want to make sure we get all the cats with the possible help of the landlord (not letting on that he WILL be charged with animal abandonment).

*sigh* I guess I'm involved, as I did ask Wendy if BCP has a cage I could borrow to POSSIBLY foster some cats/kittens.

Donna, I can't thank you enough for jumping in and helping these cats out! I hope they're all still around the house, and haven't taken off. Any idea if anyone is feeding them to keep them in the area? I hope also that the landlord cooperates and gives an idea of how many kittens there are versus cats, and can point them out as ones from the house. Never know if a neighbor has let Fluffy or Smokey out for the day, and ends up looking for their cat.

One of the tenants in the building has been feeding them. I also hope that we're able to get them all.

Jan,

I don't know how you do it, girl. I'm tired just making all the phone calls!
