If any one has had a mouse attack, they can eat papers and do allot of damage quickly, just imagine an office. Glad to hear that the feral cats are being properly managed and taken care of for an useful purpose.

Galveston needs to take notice of what is happening in L.A. concerning ferals.

What a great idea. Another situation that shows co-existance between species really does work. When will we learn? Great forward thinking city leaders and pro active animal welfare orgs.

Another good nonlethal solution for an animal problem -- for the cats, of course, not so much for the rodents. At least the rodents have a chance to vacate the targeted area, and when cats catch a few of them, well, it's natural. Hooray ultimately for Alley Cat Allies.

Great, hopefully this helps and educates people that these "Wild" cats can be helpful.

This is a good example of nature at its best. Cats are supposed to control the rodent population. It is just that the balance has gotten so out of whack. If we learn from the laws of nature, we can take care of many of these problems that have gotten out of control, like the overrunning of rodents in major cities.

Now, if we could just control the feral cat overpopulation problem. Again, out of balance.

Good way to make a good thing out of a rough situation. Feral cats get a very bad rap only because they are allowed to overpopulate and become a nuisance of their own.

Program will help people realize that feral cats are more than just a public nuisance.

Even if they do acclimate to the new areas, I am concerned about relocating the animals. It seems like it could be awfully stressful on them. But, then again, the alternative could be a lot worse.

I'm happy they found a way to naturally get rid of the rodants. I would prefer to hear this than hear that they are killing them with toxins and poisions or traps.

This is wonderful! I wish there were so many more things of this nature around. What innovation. We need this kind of problem solving in so many more areas! Huzzah to the thinkers behind this.

Excellent story. The feral cats are housed and fed, the rats run for the hills or become a tasty meal. The cats are neutered and their population stabilizes. Everyone is happy. Good for the Voice of Animals and its Working Cat Program.

This is awesome. I used to work at a police department and they were in serious need of some rat-hunting-cats.

This would be good for the shelters to utilize when they get a bunch of feral, unadoptable cats from an area. I don't know how that would do everywhere but it may catch on. I'd rather feed a cat than a rat.

Not really, since TNR is done and the cats are a contained community. Better to have monitored cats than rats-run-wild.

Good to hear a story about about feral cats. Hope LA remembers how the ferals helped them after the rat population is gone.

When our Attila was still transitioning from being an outdoor "stray" cat to an indoor cat, she was instrumental in keeping down the mice population in our neighborhood and our neighbors wanted us to let her outside periodically! Once Attila was an indoor cat, our neighbors had a flood of mice inside their houses.

I think feral cats are one of the most unappreciated breed of animals.Now people can see they have a purpose and maybe even start to take a shining to them.Just because they don't want to be petted doesn't mean they are not beautiful animals to see and watch go about their business.
