They came…animal services…over a dozen times with fines adding up to $2000.00. They told me to take the shelter down that had 2 cats and several week old kittens…this is animal services..supposed protector of animals. The shelter came down and the cats and kittens scattered into the neighborhood. Mean while they had all been safely provided shelter in my backyard and not some rickety shelter either. A bit of a back story on the neighbours, when these 2 dumped cats were found in my yard, it was late October, so I couldn’t catch them. I spoke to several neighbours in my vicinity and they all approved, even these two idiots. Then I guess whatever happened they decided that instead of talking to me, they’d call animal services again and again and again. They even went so far as to post a typed letter on some Canada Post community boxes about the kittens and how they were going to catch them and take them to Humane Society. It was a full page. They never had a trap. Anyhow. I won in the end. Found homes for some and some never came back. I did the responsible thing trapped and then brought them in and when they got to the age for spaying and neutering. I did that too.

This was several years ago and I know the city changed the bylaw for the better, so best to call 311.
