One of the neighbors trapped him, had him fixed and let him go back to what he knows. This is called a TNR (trap, neuter, release). This cuts down on the feral population and these smart people took charge and made sure the few feral cats that came along were trapped and fixed.
I totally support this program because it's impossible to find homes for all these strays and this is the second best option they have. I did this when I lived in IL; it's better for the cat and better for the neighborhood.
Red;l did you ever find a home for Sweetums?

80% of cats that go to shelters are killed outright especially if you mention wild or feral.
Does anyone know if there is a catch and release program around the Villages?
Perhaps an animal loving vet would offer to provide this or at least a low-cost program to fix these unfortunate cats and kittens if we paid a certain amount?
