Animal Control

I moved into my home about 5 years ago and from the very first day we had a litter of kittens laying under a dumpster that was here from a roof job. I caught all the kittens tamed them and re homed them, I was so happy that I found them new homes. From there is just got worse.

We have a trailer park behind our home and this is where we are getting all the strays from =\ I have called that trailer park and complained about the cats and nothing. It sickens me that no one will do anything about these kitties running wild. There are so many around here I kid you not I took a picture from my front porch and in that picture there was 6 yes 6 cats from my front porch across the street to my neighbors house. I have called animal control in my area so many times for them to help with this situation and all they could say was there is nothing they can do about it. One person even told my boyfriend that he could euthanize them himself, yep you heard me right they said he could kill them himself.

So yea we have been taking care of all these cats as best as we can. Yea I don't want these cats around because they are probably full of diseases and stuff, I do not allow my kids to touch them for that reason. I hate to feed them because I really do not want them around the kids but I feel so bad for them. My family and I have grown attached to a couple of the cats and its so sad to see them the way they are. With in the past year we have buried 3 cats in our backyard :( 2 of them just in this month. One was one that got hit by a car, the other was a baby kitten that we have no idea what happened(maybe worms) then just today a cat that I named Ash, she was pregnant and we found her under my van dead :( I do believe she was still pregnant.

I wish that the animal control around here would do their job so my family and I do not have to suffer seeing these cats in the condition they are in. It is literately breaking me caring for these cats and then to find them dead just makes us feel like we failed. I wonder what the animal controls job actually is if they refuse to catch and re-home or humanly euthanize these cats for real.. What is your opinion on the job of animal control?? Am I wrong to think that it IS their job to come catch them and do what they have to do?? They say they only come out for dogs, for real? Oh my god what about these poor little kitties??

Ok sorry just had to get that off my chest, I am so sad right now for losing my Ash kitty and her kittens :(
