Good God, this is 2015 and humans are still barely more than narcissistic barbarians. When one comes upon a situation of abandoned pets DO THE RIGHT THING!!! Pets are a beloved part of our culture, sometimes humans(bad tenants) fall short of their responsibilities and that means the rest of us pick up the slack.
Contact Frannie, the post above you or take them to the Humane Society where euthanization is the legal and humane alternative to allowing them to die slowly, VERY SLOWLY over the next year or two of disease and/or starving to death. Remember that a year from now if you turn your back and leave them in harm's way. Some things stay with you forever whether you like it or not. Cruel inhumanity and not responding to a crisis on your property/helping a pet in need is one of them.
Is it so hard for you to do the right thing? Or is selfishness so pervasive one cannot be inconvenienced for a few days?
The selfish, irresponsible cruel party here is the cat hoarder who left their collection on someone else's property, sticking them with the task of figuring out what to do with the abandoned felines.
Your ire is misdirected, if Punalover wanted to just poison, starve, or kill the cats they would not have posted here. Instead they asked for ADVICE, not self righteous posturing and an attack on their character. In case you missed it, this person is leaving the island in a few days, in fact might be gone by now, what you refer to as being "inconvenienced for a few days" may instead be "this is all you are going to do until you leave".
Thank you. I'm the responsible one with the mess to clean up (literally) while my irresponsible renter skipped off after having months to try and solve the cat problem herself. I'm trying to find a way to get rid of them without killing them but I've also got to get the place cleaned up, fixed up and rented in the next few days so the last thing I need is to take hours a day to try and catch/place cats.
I called the lady at the sanctuary and she said she'd call me back soon but they're not 'cat catchers' either. They'll try to do something with them once they're caught though.
