Julie,
You said "campus" ...do you work on a college campus? If so you would prob. find many willing helpers amongst the live-in students...plus they are there to man the traps.
(course you prob. already thought of this...)

Hi Everyone,Hideyo, I'm sorry that you have to deal with the stress of trying to help these cats and keep them safe from the dogs, all the while worrying that it could cost your job.I am working on trapping and relocating a feral colony because there are dangers to the cats from employees on campus; threats have been made about 'getting rid' of the cats. One of the people I'm working with is a police officer (one of the geniuses who has threatened the cats did so in front of her and she told him if anything happened to them she'd come looking for him first; now, really, just how stupid do you have to be to say somehting like that in front of a cop? We're really dealing with Mensa members here). If we go to Administration we're afraid that they'll have them trapped and killed.It's so frustrating; we have people who are afraid now to go there and trap because of harrassment, and we can't all be there all the time. Plus, most are living underground where there is a heat source so they are not predictable in their movements; it's so cold and snowy here that their schedule is very irregular and we can't leave traps unattended in this freezing weather. Arggg!I really sympathize with what you're going through and I wish you the best.Julie

If you're thinking about de-clawing your cat, you need to re-think your decision to acquire a pet.
