Default Cats at Work

Good luck with the AW people. My husband works at the state prison and
they have a large feral colony which has happily been tended by some
trap neuter & release prison staff. It used to be that the corrections
officers (my husband is a medical provider) would shoot the cats, but
the cat people on staff raised a stink and started a TNR program. The
population has been stable for quite some time now, making all of we
peripheral cat slaves very happy :-)


Why don't they involve prisoners in taking care of them? Programs
where prisoners take care of dogs have had wonderful results, for both
the prisoners and the dogs.
