The other issue is the colony of stray cats behind this facility. Chewy employees previously held a TNR some years back, but new cats have arrived and there are a bunch expecting kittens. Chewy now says they don't interfere with 'wildlife'. Really seems like they aren't going to do anything at all to help. Stray cats, even feral cats, may not be friendly but they are domesticated animals and not wildlife.

Feral cats are specifically not domesticated

Species are domesticated, feral cats are still domesticated.

No, they aren’t.

You don’t know what “domesticated” means

I’m in bed with a 5 yr old feral cat that we trapped at my front door some months back.

Besides his giant tomcat head you would never know he was once “wildlife”

This is a bullshit “fuck you I got mine” answer from chewy.

They are domesticated. They can not live without the aid of people. You will not find a colony of cats living more than a few miles from people. They rely on people for shelter and food sources.

They aren't socialized.
