Description
There have been feral cats allowed to come and go as they please, via a cat door in the back of the house, for the last two years I have been living on this street. Up to 15 at times. The home is owned, but unoccupied. The owner comes by sporadically and dumps cat food into bowls in the back yard and leaves opend canned cat food laying about as well. The smell (especially during the hotter days) is foul to the point where I am unable to enjoy my own front porch. I can only imagine the state of the interior, as the exterior is overrun with weeds and the garden has become a litterbox.

Why is the City of Richmond cutting and pasting a previous response and just closing the issue?
Shouldn't they address the issue that residents say has been left unattended for 2 years?

Yes, thank you for the update. However, I live next door to this house, as in I can open my window, lean out and touch the house. No one lives in the house, if they do they must not use electricity. I have been here over 2 years nows and have never seen a light on, and have only seen the woman who feeds the cats enter the house. As far as I know there is a limit on how many animals one can have resideing in their house, and I believe 15 is a bit over the limit. I know there is no kitty litter in the front yard, i mearly stated they use the front garden as a litter box. The state the cats are in, there should at least be a violation of animal neglect.
These cats are NOT well fed. They get food once a week or so, and sadly drink the water puddled on the concrete. I guess the best way to get my point across is my taking photos of the animals. This woman thinks she's helping these cats and what she is really doing is causing a breading ground for cats (who have reproduced in the last year....there were 4 kittens who have now turned into 4 underfed cats) and dieseas.

Roger,
Thank you for all you are doing to help with the issue. I'm sorry I did not respond earlier and was unable to attend the meeting with Mr. Samuels. How did it go? Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Thank you again!

This complaint was posted 6 months ago. What has been done by the City so far?
Sadly, nothing from what I can tell from reading these comments.
See Click Fix is a real joke. New name: See Click Nix.
