For the present it looks like a good alternative for the
cats.......don't know about the future. The cats who hang out at
Mom's don't get the medical care my guys get because they have to be
trapped and that can take days or even weeks. They get good food but
not specialized and they have shelter if they chose to use it. They
have been s/n and released and we have lost a lot of them but we have
some in the colony who have been there for about 10 years. We do the
best we can. The little guys who live with me came from this colony
as tiny kittens. So did Dixie, Kitty and TK. Some want to be inside
cats and some don't---or want to think about it. I don't know what
happens after Mom leaves this world. I have primary caregiving duties
and will do the best I can. They are very independent cats. I guess
we just have to do the best we can.

Check out the video in Atia's message. I did and when I was viewing
his video, I checked out another from a girl who had pictures that
suggested it was not so good. It was good that they get food and
have houses to sleep in and it is fenced, but just with a normal
cyclone fence that cats and coyotes cold easily get over. And with
that many cats and not much help in the caring department, it is
hard to see how he could keep up with who is sick,hurt. His video
also said he bears most of the cost with some donations to help. I
also worry about who wsome who have been in the ill take over when
he dies since he doesn't look like a youngster. Does he have
provisions for continuing care of the cats. Also, if people take
their pets to him expecting them to get the same care they gave
them, would they? My guys go outside for 2 or 3 hour in the day but
they are inside at night and bad weather days. The are used to
sleeping on my memory foam bed and me. I do not think they would be
happy there.

Seems like I read the woman in CA does have her property fenced
in. She doesn't actually have as much acreage as this other guy.
She has a staff of like 25 people. I never heard that about the
other guy so who knows if his property is fenced in. But it seems
like he takes in ferals and homeless cats who have absolutely
nowhere else to go so even if it isn't an ideal home situation
those cats are a lot better off with him.

Isn't that in Florida? All little houses; but how does one keep
track of them out there, and so many, how can he know who's sick?
Don't they get out? Is it all fenced in? I had so many questions
when I saw the video....
Man builds cat-sized village for homeless cats: http://green.yahoo.com/blog/guest_bloggers/69/man-builds-cat-sized-village-for-homeless-cats.html
.
There's also a woman in CA, I think, who has 600 cats - looks like
a great place.

I could sell my place and move there. I only have 7 cats and if
they dn't get alog well with yours, I could build them an outdoor
day time house. At night they could sleep in my bedroom like they
do now. I wouldn't mind takin on a few more cats. Or waht about
this guy in Oregon who bought 600 acres of an old tree farm. He
takes in strays, unwanteds and lets the roam the 600 acres. He
builds all kinds of houses for them to sleep in and spends the day
checking up on them and giving each one some loving.
