The end of November I noticed that many of the feral and
stray cats that we care were not showing up at the feeding station. We assumed that they were hanging out at a
kindly neighbor’s garage that was opened to them for a shelter throughout the
cold winter months. We also thought that the cats had gone to another feeding station.

This was a reasonable explanation for the missing cats
however we continued to walk the neighborhood looking for the cats and calling for them. Several of us went into the
woods and found 3 cats at the thicket colonies but 6 feral and stray cats are
still missing.

Last week the cat caregivers volunteer meeting it was reported that 6 feral
and stray cats were missing
and that community residents were seeking their housecats as well. This of course was reason for concern as it
now seemed that foul play may be the reason why the feral stray and housecats
are missing in our neighborhood.
We suspect the a resident that lives close by may be luring the cats into traps and then calling animal control to report cat nuisance on his property. We are looking into the missing cats more seriously.
