Does manager take her cats home with her over the weekends ? I would think it would be animal abuse if she doesn't .

no, the cats roam in slr freely 24/7, no collars are seen on these cats either.

to above: why put collars on them ? would you want your cats to be recognized shitting in the neighbors flower beds ?

NOT all pets can be recognized just by having a collar; if they are a legitimate "pet" they would: have AN owner or owners, they would have a rabies tag from the county w/a number on it that is exclusive to that particular animal, and, last, but certainly not least, they would not be roaming the streets 24/7.

Anyone know of an update w/Animal Control, Vince and whoever else is involved in getting rid of the feral cats?

Update coming in a couple of days, hopefully. They (Animal Control) have been to the office 2 times, but our manager was off or not available. They should be back in a couple of days. We still have cats living under the front office's crawl space. And they roam around freely.
A Cat Tale... ;-)

Sunday's News Paper had a article by Dr.Mitsie Vargas out of Orchid Springs Animal Hospital in Winter Hayvn, about domestic cats, stray cats, and feral cats. She says, experts estimate the feral cat population in the US equals or even exceeds the "owned" cat population. She also talked how feral cats impact songbirds and other wildlife. Neighbors living near feral cat colonies are concerned about cats urinating and defecating in their yards.
And public health officials are concerned about potential transmission of disease, such as toxoplasmosis, plague and rabies.

I made contact with Vince at Animal Control, SLR is still on the list for a friendly visit. They are very busy and will stop at SLR, when in the area. But they will stop by at some point.

I just read: The Notice by our manager from back on Feb. 2013. She was quoting SLR Pet Rules. Have control of your pets, no pets in bldgs., no pets on the front porch. Any pets roaming the grounds, will be caught by Security, and turn over to the correct authorities. Signed by Mxx... I guess she is not a owner in SLR, so she is exempt from all rules. This will be addressed at some point. Just need a full house at the Meeting..

What we need is for her to wake up and get rid of the cats like she said she would or else "get fired or go to jail," which were her words.

Did you know that as long as the manager has the cats, the BOD, Mgmt/mgr and Fines Committee don't have a leg to stand on to fine the dog owners out in the back 40? Per a member on the fines committee, that person will vote down any fine against the a dog owner as the cats are at the office. I found that interesting.

There is NO fine clause , there is no Authority to Enforce and the back 40 belongs to Alico not SLR and certainly not to the MANBOD either .

Their game is all fluff and bluff so no body should feel they MUST OBEY some other resident just because they are on the BOD .

No Fines or Violation Committee , No Authority and No Enforcement . Don't believe anything unless it is in writing and signed by all of MANBOD as official correspondence .

To Feral cats in SLR for 3 months: COMMITTEES DO NOT SET THE RULES .

There is no "Fine Committee" and a Violation Committee has as much power as a solar generator at night .

If only people would stop and think for just a moment and see the absurdity of these statements there would be no reason to even mention them.

The confusion and belief of whatever MANBOD says or a Committee says is just nuts and people in SLR lap it up like free ice cream .

Don't want to think for yourself ? Want to let others tell you the rules without proof ? Then with all due respect you, they , them are not fit to reside in an unsupervised society .

All that I see with MANBOD instigated Committees is that Manbod is shirking their duties and allowing the residents to act on their behalf. See if you get one of them to help you pay court costs or bail you out of Bartow when you are arrested for trying to force your will on another resident on MANBODs behalf .

The best advice for everyone is to MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS and let MANBOD hang themselves.
BTW they are doing a damn fine job of it so far.

So, are we to gather that this feral cat issue is now an abandoned subject because animal control can't do anything about "group ownership" of strays, and that, the manager and board members, who condone the cats living at the office, have gotten their way once again with respect to a problem created by them that just isn't supposed to be going on in here?
It obviously didn't do a damn bit of good to voice concern about this issue at the board meeting, since the owner questioning the board got stupid grins from bod's; NO comments and NO solutions.
Because of the obvious lack of ability to act on ANYONE'S part, are we all to assume that NOTHING can be done about this problem that the manager created and the board condones? After all, it still IS a problem when residents have stinky cat piss and poops on their property--oh, but that's all o.k. with those running this place since it doesn't impact them in the least.

This ongoing, frustrating feral cat situation is a reminder of:

1. how powerless BOD is to the will of Mange and

2. how deaf/unconcerned BOD is to the reasonable concerns of the owners who elected them to represent them.

It is has observed many time before that the only assistance residents in here are going to get is that which they access from outside SLR--or self-help.
