Thats a great idea but, they don't want one unfortunately. Bottom line is fixing the cats is a very big job and still doesn't take care of the problem in the short term. What these people are doing is not illegal apparently. With that amount of cats and kittens running around and defecating everywhere, something drastic needs to be done. It turns out the house they bought was sold because of this cat problem and since they moved in they befriended their neighbor and they admitted to contemplating giving them a heads up when they were in contract. Long story short, what are some ideas I can give these poor people. Whats the deal with trapping them? Could you then drop them off somewhere one by one?
They have tried. Raccoons, rats, squirrels ect. would be taken care of but cats dont apply. The only law is the food cant be left outdoors for other vermin to eat.
My friend had the same issue. He trapped 30 of them one by one and each
morning took the captured cat somewhere. Not sure if he was dumping them in the woods or turning them in somewhere. Romor had it the trap sometimes was on the loony cat lover neighbor's property. The cat nuts were not pleased when they found out. One funny story was when he found an irate raccoon one morning in his trap!

I know of a person who will trap them (humanely) and will take them to the town of hempstead shelter to be spayed/neutered, and returned if you want that. She charges, but I don't think it's very much. If you're interested, send me a PM.

That is the way to go . Have your friend get a couple of traps and trap them one at a time and release them in the woods several miles away from their home. Screw what the neighbors think. There are too many wacky people living on LI and because of one obsessive cat hoarder the neighborhood does not need to suffer.
A friend of mine did the same thing. The woman was upset that the cats were not coming home and she started asking around. My friend laughed after she spoke to him.
But in all honesty, your friend did not notice the cat epidemic when they moved into the house? Usually the homes of cat hoarders are dumps. I know I would have noticed this.
I just spoke with the homeowner (victim) to discuss some of the suggestions from this thread. I overstated the amount of cats. There is approximately 8-10. Some are kittens. He doesn't want to be mean to a crazy old cat lady but, it has come time to do something. He has 3 kids and the youngest (15mnths) came up to his mom covered in feces this weekend. Its no longer about controlling the population but, eliminating them from his property.

The yard is covered in tall shrubs and the house is not in bad shape. I can't believe the neighbor had the nerve to tell them the problem was that bad for a long time.
