Feral Cats May Be In Danger As Construction Looms On Lantana Property

Some feral cats need your help.

There is an open field near the corner of Lantana and Jog Roads, where Michelle Collister with " For the Love of Grace Animal Rescue " has been taking care of cats since she found them there years ago.

"It was over a hundred cats on this field."

The nonprofit has had all of the original cats spayed and neutered, but now she's concerned about the safety of the fifty or so still in place.

"The owners of the property now are getting ready to build on the property. They have now fenced in the property with mesh fencing and we reached out to the property manager's office and the property managers are not very compliant with us. So we're trying to get these cats removed from the property before the construction begins."

Michelle says one man even told her he didn't care about what happens to the cats.

We reached out to Morguard Property Management's corporate office, which is in Canada, and received the following statement on behalf of Lantana Plaza:

"We understand the concerns about the cat colony on the land neighboring our property. Development on the land is in its early stages with no specific construction start date. As we recognize the community's interest in the welfare of these cats, we encourage them to contact our property management team to arrange for the safe and humane relocation of the cats.

We appreciate the community's dedication to caring for the cats and support collaborative efforts to find solutions that prioritize the animals' well-being."

But Michelle says she gets no response when trying to find out who she is supposed to deal with.

Meanwhile, there are ways that you can help, including with donations to help feed the cats that have been rescued from the property.
