Right now if you go to OC Animal Care in all seven cat cottages, there are cages and cages of kittens, last weekend, we counted maybe 10 adult cats over 2 years old the rest were all kittens, and does the general public know why, because OC Animal Care is taking all the healthy adoptable adult cats and dumping them back into the community with the ideology that most people are good and the community will help take care of these cats. We are here to inform and educate the general pu,, ,,, m: khe ui,.—ace between TNR and RTF and let the general public know that they have been misled of the situation by OC Animal Care. OC is doing a massive damping of healthy adoptable cats back into the community with the thought process that the community will help take care of these cats. The problem is OC Animal Care has not alerted or educated the community that these healthy adoptable cats are being dumped in their neighborhoods, they are providing no follow up or after care for those cats, these cats are not feral. To understand RTF, we should first describe Trap, Neuter, Return [TNR], or Trap, Neuter, Return and Maintain [TNRM]. The cats most likely to benefit from these programs are feral cats—unsocialized descendants of people's abandoned and discarded pets. The New York rescue group Neighborhood Cats provides an excellent description of what feral cats are and are not: While they live outside human homes and exhibit wild behavior, feral cats are not wildlife. The vast majority rely on some form of human -based food source for their sustenance, whether its a caretaker who feeds daily, a dumpster behind a supermarket or scraps left on fishing docks. Very few subsist on hunting alone. They also point out that "feral" is a behavioral chmtiiological one. Other cats that may be "swept up" in RTF and TNR programs include pet cats that people have abandoned, kittens born outdoors but still young enough to be fully socialized to people, loosely owned outdoor cats that no one takes full responsibility for, lost cats, and owner surrendered cats. Currently, cats living outdoors without clear owners are collectively referred to as "community cats." From September 2018 through June 2019 Orange County Animal Care released more than 1,000 cats and kittens back into Orange County Communities , these cats and kittens were left to fend for themselves on our streets, in our parks, in fields and even at malls. Some had never been socialized to humans, and quickly faded into the brush, or scooted behind trashcaus to hide. Others, accustomed to friendly faces and food served in a bowl, were confused and alarmed by their fate.
