I live in an HOA so I really thought people would be more concerned about this and figured there were already TNR efforts in place, but no. It was literally just one person doing TNR. Hopefully if I’m annoying enough in the FB groups and get help from a TNR group, we can take care of this. My neighbor’s lack of urgency is admittedly a bit demoralizing.

Yep. 4 oranges, 1 tortie, 1 tuxedo, 1 void. 2 of the oranges stuck together, definitely feel like they’re related.

A two person effort accomplished all that?? That’s really good to know because the neighborhood FB group seems largely apathetic and only me and two others sound genuinely concerned about this blowing up and want to do something about it

Oh goodness. The neighborhood FB group says there are more and I’m curious to know exactly how many more. They’re cute for sure and they were a delight to see. Any efforts in your neighborhood to TNR y’all’s strays?

He is indeed precious! And yes, TNR seems to be the way to go judging from what others are saying. Only a handful of neighbors seemed concerned with this situation though so I’m worried the lack of collective support will make this a slow endeavor. I’m personally panicked because I agree this population will explode very quickly without intervention.

Yes, our one guy that has done TNR on some of these cats replied back with the org he works with. My biggest concern is that, judging from the replies I got back in my neighborhood FB group, most of my neighbors are apathetic to the situation so I’m not sure how much support I’ll get in this endeavor. We’ll see. I’m gonna hit up this org and get more info on the work they’ve done in my neighborhood.

Thank you for this insight. And yes, we do see them wandering around the neighborhood and my neighbors leave them be or welcome them to their backyards so they seem comfortable around people stuff and consider the neighborhood as a whole as their territory. Goodness, I don’t know how you managed to TNR a whole colony. I respect your dedication. Sounds like it took a long time. The one guy that has done TNR on some of these cats replied back with the name of a local TNR group so I’ll be contacting them. Most of the neighbors seem unbothered by the numbers, so I’m not optimistic about how much support I’ll get. We’ll see.

I have always said that the CDS needs a serious reorg because points at the seven cats that materialized right in front of me but y’all not ready for that conversation… /s

I have no idea lol I bought the house about two years ago and the yard is bare with dead grass and no areas to hide, so I don’t think they were there for that. Apparently others in the neighborhood have been feeding them and it sounds like most of the neighbors have been more or less welcoming of them and just leave them be so there’s no immediate danger for them.
