To the Editor:

I would like to address the problem outlined in “Cats Efforts Thwarted” (8/3). I have been involved in TNR (trap-neuter-return) since 2001. At that time, I became educated about feral cats because there was a colony of 30-plus living in my neighborhood (not located in Mystic Island) that through my efforts was reduced to nine cats. Fifteen years later, I consider myself to be an expert on the subject.

The bottom line here is that this is not a cat problem. This is a people problem.
