The CATalyst: Update to Loews? Feral Cat Treatment at Hotels

Steve Dale, CAT FANCY writer and syndicated newspaper pet columnist, provides a weekly cat news roundup.

By Steve Dale, CABC, says,

?To my knowledge, guests at three Loews-operated hotels at Universal Orlando in Florida aren?t getting sick from?feral cats?on the property. Some cat lovers including myself, however, are sickened at the sudden aggressive action by this self-proclaimed pet-loving chain.?

At least some people CARE and doing something to help the defenseless cats, read the following excerpt taken from Steve Dale?s article.

Volunteers Step in to Help Feral Cats
A local all-volunteer group, CARE Feline TNR, is coming to the rescue. Five cats have, to date, been trapped and delivered to the shelter, where they will be spay/neutered, ear-notched and vaccinated (though most cats on the Loews properties already have been).

The cats will live in volunteer foster homes until an angel with property comes forward, perhaps a farmer who can use feline vermin catching assistance or simply someone who wants to save lives. Otherwise ? while it is true, the cats will not be euthanized ? at least, for now, their future is uncertain.

?We?re very grateful to CARE and their volunteers,? Kennedy says.

CARE is equally effusive to praise Orange County Animal Services. CARE volunteer Carol Needham is dealing with a situation that she says never should have happened in the first place. ?The cats were maintained and managed rather well on these [Loews] properties,? she says.

Kennedy notes that it?s Loews legal right to trap the cats and deliver them to animal services as long as they do so in a humane manner. She wouldn?t comment as to whether it?s the right thing to do.

Kennedy did say she?s pleased with the community support for the cats, and increasing community enthusiasm for TNR.

As for famously pet-friendly Loews, it turns out they can be not-so-friendly; Loews makes note of saying these cats aren?t not pet cats. True enough. So?

Yeah, one for feral felines and their cousins!
