When The Community Makes It Difficult To TNR - Divsion 25 Colony Project

Sayre and I went back to the Division St 25 Colony to trap some more cats, kitten galore. Unfortunately, there is a house on this block that is rather difficult and does not want to cooperate with us. They don't understand the whole T-N-R program and just believe we are taking the cats and not bringing them back. We were screamed at by an older gentlemen threatening to call the police on us and told us we were causing trouble. We stood our ground. I told the one gentlemen that I didn't appreciate his wife spreading false information to a neighbor which led to us being screamed at. 

I have explained to them our process and he see's me in that alley consistently trapping, but is never around when I do the release. I showed him the ear tipped cats. One of the cats we did provide TNR services to, who I call Momma (aka Cleopatra), came out and he noticed how nice and plump she has gotten since her vetting services. I told him this is why we do what we do, she is now healthy. He went on to inform me that he saw a cat in the alley with what he believes to be a broken leg. I told him that by him telling me about this injured cat, he knows I am doing right by them. I told him that I will continue to be in that alley until all the cats have been vetted. I then told him when I would be releasing the kitten that I just trapped and if he is there at that time to see it great, but he informed me he will be at work. So I told him I guess he needs to take me at his word. The true upsetting thing is, we should have been able to trap 3 kittens 4-5months of age, but because they caused such a ruckus and were loud we were only able to get one. I wonder if the full moon had something to do with it?

I would like for everyone to meet Silas or Sila depending on the sex (I think the kitty is a male). He is at ACS this morning getting his TNR Services and will be released back to the Division St 25 colony after his recovery.
