Yes, I,m back in the same fix. I moved from the city to a small town taking my dozen cats with me. I checked before I moved to make sure that I could have a dozen cats, but two years after buying the property here, the city passed and ordinance saying that I can't take in and care for the numerous stray cats here. No grandfather clause. Though vaccinated, fixed and killing the local rats, this city has decided they have a cat problem, not a rat problem.

If you have any idea what the original thread was titled you might find it that way with a search on FR or google which picks up FR threads.

About three years old I think, but it's got a rope on it. Is that ok?

Can you narrow down the time frame a little to a month or season?

I grew up in Wichita by the way. My wife's from the region around Salina.

I'm curious about why you take in all these cats? No offense intended -- I have a two close elderly relatives who do this, and I'm wondering if it's more than just a tender heart.

I'll admit I'm not an INSIDE cat lover, - their hair makes my nose itch and I think they stink, especially when people have lots of them. I don't even want to sit down on their furniture. (putting on my flame proof suit now)

No grandfather clause, hmm. Their must be some reason the community has suddenly decided this? Do you know what, if any, problems the cats might be causing for anyone, or any of the wildlife, such as birds?

We DO have a cat, she lives at the barn and cons both my husband and me into feeding her by the way she acts, as if she's starving and no one has fed her on any particular day.
