A Harvey Cedars resident recently reiterated complaints to the boroughin addressinga feral cat colony problem on Maiden Lane. Bill Bartholomew said that at one time, there were around 20 feral cats in the neighborhood, and said the number is now closer to 12.

“But people are still out there feeding the cats,” he said. “If they’re going to feed them, it might be better if they did it in an indoor area.”

Bartholomew, who first approached borough officials last fall, said amajor concern ishow his property and others are littered withcat feces.
