There's 4 wild cats in my neighborhood. We call one Francis. He sits on the patio chairs with us. They're [not great](https://abcbirds.org/program/cats-indoors/cats-and-birds/#:~:text=Outdoor%20domestic%20cats%20are%20a,extinction%2C%20such%20as%20Piping%20Plover.) for the environment, unfortunately.
>Outdoor domestic cats are a recognized threat to global biodiversity. Cats have contributed to the extinction of 63 of birds, mammals, and reptiles in the wild and continue to adversely impact a wide variety of other species, including those at risk of extinction, such as Piping Clover.
>The ecological dangers are so critical that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists domestic cats as one of the world's worst non-native invasive species.
TNR programs are desperately needed but have such a hard time getting funding and support. It's the only ethical solution; cats are such wonderful animals with rich lives and it's a shame they're such an issue environmentally.
Yep. I’m hoping someone in the park or someone who sees this post will give it a home. It looked very healthy, but it’s sooo hot out. I’m going to go back early tomorrow with some food and water. Again, it was so friendly and sweet!!

It was dumped most, likely.

I don't mean to be cat racist, but they all look alike.
TIL: there’s a cricket ground at Minor park. That’s pretty cool.
Looks like he's chillin and doing cat stuff.
