I got an update from Wendy at BCP.
Here it is:
"I went down to Whittier Street in Bpt this afternoon and met up with Evelyn from Cats, Inc. She has already removed a total of 5 cats from there as of today. They are tame enough to be picked up and put into carriers. After we got another one in the last carrier, she left and I was on the phone with the State. Lt. Perez from Bpt Animal Control walked up and told me that Kenny from animal control would be there this afternoon with traps and they would be there on Friday as well. The Lt. said they are going to try and prosecute the landlord who threw them out. I am hoping they prosecute both the landlord and the tenant. I am also thankful for the help from animal control since they apparently do not have to do that according the the State Animal Control Officer. If anyone wants to help trap, please let me know. The longer they are outside the less tame they will be, so we need to get them soon. Poor things, to be thrown out at this time of the year. The estimate is 20 - 30 cats total and after Evelyn left, I saw about 6 more who came out. The rest may have scattered, but should remain in the area if food is left out for them, which one of the tenants is doing and Evelyn has left styro boxes with hay in them for shelter. There was alot of inbreeding, so many of them look alike."
I've volunteered to go with them and trap the cats. I'll let you know whenever I find out something.

I've been wondering and worrying about the kittens out there. I hope they're old enough to be on their own should their mother(s) be trapped before them. What an awful ordeal for the cats, but soooo happy somethings being done to rescue them before Winter hits. Thanks for the uppydate Donna! 
This is the time of year I get into too much trouble.
