There’s a saying that goes: “To judge a place, look at the stray cats. If they are friendly, bold, and relaxed, you know it is a good town with good people.”. Alamedans have a complicated relationship with local stray cats. While some residents stop to coo and take pictures of the colonies scattered throughout the island, others take to Facebook to lament the unowned cats who tease their dogs and tear up their gardens. Merry Bates, Board President of Island Cat Resources and Adoption ( ICRA ), spoke to the Alameda Post about best practices for interacting with and living alongside these animals.

So now, they all need loving homes or rescues. They all weigh about 11 pounds and are listed as pit bull mixes, but they look more like shepherd/ boxer mixes.
