Skyguy,

That was a really great cartoon you put on your posting. I got a good laugh.

Before moving to The Villages, I volunteered at the SPCA to assist in finding matches for adoptable cats and people who wanted cats. I had to take a 20 hour course and was certified (by SPCA) as a "cat adoption counselor".

Actually, I love cats. My wife and I have had pet cats for about 35 years - the last kitty passed on last year at 19 years old - and I decided that is the last pet I will own. It is just too hard to cope with when they pass away.

As mentioned above, Barb Irwin runs Pet Rescue here. I have borrowed traps twice and caught two feral cats that Barb took. She places the ones that can be domesticated and has someone with a huge farm that takes the feral ones after they are neutered and immunized.

Having gone through several love/lost cyles I know exactly what you mean. After the last cat that we lost, I too said no more. Well guess what? Yup, you're right!

I have personally called and spoken with the following groups over the past few days, who do not know of anyone that traps, neuters, and releases/returns feral cats:

Cat Protection Society
Edna at Feisty Acres
Lake County Animal Services - illegal to TNR in Lake County (shhh, don't tell)
Lake County Humane Society
Marion County Animal Control
Sumter County Animal Control
Wildwood Animal Control - now operated by Sumter County
Leesburg Humane Society

So, Tropical Karen, it looks like you are the "go to girl" for trapping any feral cats near Havana or the gas station that Bare mentioned. I'll stop calling places and trust that you will help rescue the feral cats here in TV with help from those who know where the cat colonies are located.

Will you help?
