I don't have a cat . . .

I wonder if people are aware of the Trap-Neuter-Release programs, I'm sure they probably have one in Torrance. We had a family of wild cats that an elderly couple was feeding in our suburban-rural neighborhood. Had the TNR folks come out and I helped them trap all five babies, Mama and even Dad (a BIG black to cat, battle-scarred, who nonetheless sat back and let the kittens and Mama eat first, amazing). We also managed to catch the same skunk twice in the process, and a baby possum. Then, they took them to a mass spay-neuter event (volunteer vets), let them recover for two days, and then released them back in our neighborhood after the couple said they'd continue to feed them. Best thing ever, because it keeps them from reproducing, and they protect a territory so more cats don't come in. The couples neighbor loves them for rodent control. Over time their population has dwindled to two. Best solution and educational for our neighborhood. Simply trapping and taking to a kill shelter doesn't help with the procreating.
