If it wasn't for Michele at Animal Compassion Project, Inc., my kitty would have been put down. There needs to be more people like Michele, Jim and Jan Rich, and Alley Cat Allies. These people are the greatest people in the world. My kitty is very happy, healthy and has lots of kitty friends. I can call about her anytime and visit her anytime. This is the truly best thing I could've done for my cat. Thanks Michele you are a lifesaver to the animals who has no say at all in what there future holds for them.
This story neglects to mention that feral cats are a non-native predator which puts stress on an already stressed environment.
I thought it was ILLEGEAL by State LAW to return feral animals back to the wild? If these people love cats so much, why don't they adopt them? If not they shoudl be destroyed. The amount of detruction cats do in the wild in terrible.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" ~Gandhi (1869-1948)
This is a great narrative about feral cats. Perhaps people need to be more educated so they won't have to leave ignorant comments.
Feral cats are a problem created by people. As removing and killing does not work, this is the way to go.
Thanks for doing this hard work.

Millions of stray cats are killed every year in animal shelters -- a shocking statistic that has inspired a grassroots movement to change ineffective and inhumane animal control methods.
Throughout southwest Florida, an underground network of cat-lovers protects friendless felines, and promotes a new no-kill method of feral cat control called "Trap, Neuter, Return," or TNR.
