They will know if someone is missing a cat and can check for a microchip if the cat can be approached. Or borrow a Have-a-heart trap and trap it, then call Kathy Bork of Lost Pets of The Villages. Also, post the picture on the Next Door forum.

Oh good grief! Trap the cat...call animal control. It really is that simple. Sheesh! No need for the overly dramatic to reply. They are not an endangered species.

Just rented through **** and the owner and it was a pleasure, moved to new location and dealing with this company is a horror. First issue, a cat has taken up residence in the backyard and whines and cries all night long, have not had a good nights sleep since here. The company said they could do nothing. We purposely rented a pet free house as me and my wife are both allergic to cats. Companies answer, well its not in the house so its not their problem, i thought yard was part of house. Animal control said they could capture it, spay and neuter it, then release it back to same location. What is the point. Anyone have any suggestions? I am afraid if i feed it it will never leave but i also dont want it to starve. Second, mail. First place i rented i had access to mailbox at Phillips station. This place(down home property) just informed me today after a week here i have no mail box. Problem is i have had something delivered and USPS said they put it in mailbox. I have no mailbox, the company, Down Home, suggested i wait outside Phillips all day until i see a postal carrier. Calling the post office is useless as all you get is automation that does not answer needed questions. Any suggestions, serious ones, on what to do about cat, and how i can find out how to actually pick up my delivered mail would be appreciated. First month through **** and direct involvement of owner we had a great stay, second month here, mostly due to Down Home Property mgmt, do not use them. it has been one headache after another. Really enjoying the Villages overall but this company is ruining it, there were more issues than these two but these are just the most current two. Sorry for ranting but this is frustrating.

Mail delivery is not controlled by any real estate mngmt co. You are blaming the wrong people. They can not legally be involved with anyone’s mail.

Mail can be an issue in TV bcs they do not is the USPostal service. They use contract deliverers which are not so easy to interact with. It is frustrating. I have had this experience tracking down my Dad’s mail after he died. Took me nearly a month to get the mail from the person who operated the route.

Do NOT feed the cat. That would be stupid! But some fireworks and set them off and throw them at the screeching - Roman candles would also be good. Make sure that it has rained recently so that you don't start a fire. If that doesn't work, then get a slingshot at Wal-Mart or Amazon. If desperate - get a flare gun.
