the woman caring for the 12 cats is most probably feeding a colony of feral cats. and its not possible to confine them to a property. cats span up to 5 miles as their territory. They should be fixed so the population doesnt increase 10x's during one summer. Yes, its true. Of course i gestimated but cats can get pregant a few days after delivery of kittens. it unhealthy for cats to have litter after litter. like a machine. try to see if she is planning to get those cats fixed. Make sure no one odopts any that will declaw them, declawing is cruel and only done for peoples convenience. Certainly not the cats. Its painful for years, its still in the faze of discussion weather or not animal authorities publically state, decalwing is against the law or ok or ?
