S.N.K.I. is pleased to report that this colony has now been saved! All cats have been spayed/neutered and vaccianted. The young adults and adult cats will remain on the Institution property in a managed feral colony. The kittens under 12 weeks of age, currently 8 of them, will soon be fixed and then will be put up for adoption.Thank you all for making this happen.Sincerely,J. Boudreauon behalf of S.N.K.I.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support in our efforts to see these cats returned to their home on the Bath Institution property and back in the excellent care provided by the inmates who have looked after them for the past four years. We continue to receive strong resistance from the Administration who would prefer that no cat remain on the Institution property at all. This stance has not changed despite their being advised of the “vacuum effect”, if this colony is removed or re-homed other cats will move in and take their place and the entire process will start over again. The known and well-documented benefits of animal-inmate contact and subsequent lowered rates of recidivism has also apparently had very little, if any, effect. Since S.N.K.I. became involved in this effort in March of this year, after negotiations fell through in February between L.A.F.F. (Lennox & Addington Feline Fixers)...
