Slophouse Cats

When trapping Hate Thy Neighbor in late October, I'd seen a house one street down, with a dozen or more cats sitting in the driveway. I was told a neighbor was trapping those cats for fixing. This was incorrect.

Lately, there have been postings on craigslist about the cats there, and a plea for help for them. Turns out a woman who lives on that street has been trying to find them help for months. She has been told by SafeHaven there is no help available, other than vouchers through them for tame cats. This is balony.

At the time, she was attempting to get help, the county even had cat grant funds available through two nonprofits and SafeHaven knew this. They knew about the FCCO clinic in October. They knew about the Neuterscooter's visits, in both August and October. Why can't they at least direct people to help when its there?

Instead, the problem magnifies until some worker bee finds out. Some worker bee like me. When I saw a craigslist post yesterday, I immediately contacted the woman and trapped four of the cats today. She is going to work on trying to find them homes. The house is abandoned and a wreck. Hence the colonies name. I took these photos of the cats this morning.
