Two kittens found dead on a neighbor's lawn August 2009
In July 2009 one of my family members was diagnosed as having Lyme's Disease, which doesn't seem out of the ordinary in a rural New England area like Wareham, Massachusetts. This person never goes out into the woods and hardly spends time outside at all... he likely caught it in his own back yard. There is no conclusive proof how his case of Lyme's Disease was contracted, however the stray cats that neighbors have been complaining about for years are provably diseased. Could these cats be passing their illnesses onto your loved ones as well? Being a cat lover and cat owner I only want to see what's best done for these stray cats, starting with getting them the health care they need, and then finding them proper homes so that they will have better lives than what I now see. Winter will be coming soon, I want to see this issue resolved before anyone else gets sick, or any more of these cats die from negligence. Sadly, the humane traps that town officials have laid are underfunded and have only been set twice since July.
Today we were in the back yard and found a kitten that was blinded from disease and were told the police could do nothing until tomorrow, so we took it to a no kill shelter ran on the other side of town called Champs. The woman told us that this kitten might remain blind, but she will give it a good home until a loving owner comes along that doesn't mind its special needs.
