homes for strays?

I've been feeding 10-12 stray cats for a couple yrs in a residential neighborhood in Central Florida. The neighborhood management has decided to catch the cats and turn them into the local animal shelter (where they kill them in 5 days if no adoption). They're outdoor cats but not aggressive at all. They like being petted.

Is there anywhere in Central Florida that I could take them, like a 'refuge?' I'd be happy to provide for spaying/neutering of them.

Nice enclosures, I've used the same method for 8 yrs. without the top. A 6' fence of the chicken mesh works as cats won't climb the mesh fence once they test it with claws & claws get caught. Homes for Strays? Bob I empathies with your predicament. I've posted re: this type prob, feedings strays and how to find them a home/farm. A Home for Hobo? The fault goes to the one feeding the poor cats

the local animal shelter kills them in 3 days if they're considered 'feral'.

i'd be happy to take them myself, as far as it takes, i just need somewhere to take them where they'll be safe and and have a place to live? living in the cage for 3 days at the local shelter (before being killed) is what i'm trying to prevent unfortunately.

thanks for the links, i'll try them..i've been to the spca, but the spca would prefer they go to the animal shelter because they're not 'tame' enough for housepets unfortunately..they get along well together, but aren't very

it's an apt complex unfortunately, if it were my backyard i'd be in good shape

If nobody else has mentioned it, try getting ahold of Alley Cat Allies. I don't have their website URL handy, (don't have a browser open), but a quick Google search should give it to you. They may be able to help you with ideas, a local group, or some options.

Best of luck to you and the ferals,

thank you gynger. i'll give a try.

This Link; US Cat Rescue, provides many organizations, an excellent site: http://www.artzwild.com/cat/usrescue.html Also is there anyway you can get the cats to a new location and continue feeding them? Any local farms you can convince to take the cats, maybe offer to provide the cat food if they can provide the farm. Farmers often keep farm/barn cats to control the mice. 'Ginger-lyn Summer'
