Feral Cats of North Hills, Ca

(North Hills, Ca 91343)

After seeing a bunch of kittens watered to death, after I told the woman who hates cats to stop, I decided to trap every cat I could on a HUD property in North Hills, Ca (see map below) with the permission of the manager. Melanie John. Since she quit working here 3 weeks ago, I have had a group of people (most who don't speak English and haven't been born here) sign a petition to have me evicted for feeding the colony and saving them from death.

I am a very good caretaker, the colony of 11 is very healthy. As soon as the manager from the building , who was supportive of my efforts quit, these people who don't like cats and are from different countries went on a crusade to draw attention to their cause of having me evicted and the TNR'd cats euthanized.

I live in North Hills, Ca 91343 and these people are making me very upset, one particular man has called many agencies over the past two years to trump up charges of sanitation concerns and the people have gardens, which on occasion the cats poo in.

I have been cleaning the gardens but it's not good enough for some of these people. They want the cats that I have loved and cared for and feed day and night euthanized.

So many great responses, thank you !Yea, Mile, kinjd of funny from Beverly Hills to North Hills. I agree with all of you concerning the intolerant people who choose to stay ignorant. I will continue feeding my beautiful colony of kitties as I have for 4 yrs. Had them all TNR'd in June 2008. Eleven kitties outside plus my two black indoor beauties. Truly a witches coven, huh? thanks all, and God bless you. I am on FaceBook

starstarstarstarstar 		you are an angel
by: kathy

I was really forming a resent ment against thes stupid people you are dealing with. Afew years back I also ran up against some people from a foreign country. I was feeding a few feral cats and some local coonies and oposums were coming to dine at my diner. The foreign man worked late and came home one night and told the landlady that I was feeding wild animals and he was afraid hed be attacked. So she told me not to do it anymore. I just moved my diner to the back of the building. Im sorry your going through what you are and I will offer a special prayer to my special saint for you. We just went through a lukemia scare with one of my sons cats and my saint brought us a negative result. Foreign people really are becoming a problem in our country as they just try to take over. Anyway that just my opinion.

Please let us know.

starstarstarstarstar 		Well done Barbara!
by: Everycat

Barbara, you are a true friend to ferals! This is wonderful work that you have done and it's testament to how mindless and mean spirited humans can be that you are now being persecuted by these unfeeling idiots.

I wonder if Alley Cat Allies would give you some support here? They might be able to advocate for you amidst the cat hating rabble. The vacuum effect is very real as I'm sure you know. Maybe if the anti-cat people understood this, they would be more tolerant of your excellent work to manage this colony.

Best of luck

starstarstarstar 		Like Beverly Hills
by: Michael

Hi, thanks for sharing. Your experience mirrors what happened at Beverly Hills: Help Fight Beverly Hills Municipal Code.

People have almost polar opposite views on feral cats. There are those like you who want to do the right thing to resolve the problem and the others who just want it to go away as quickly as possible and that means kill the lot for these people although that method does not work well. See Feral Cat Vacuum phenomenon

I praise you for your efforts - well done and good luck.
