Our cat situation is just awful on Highview Road as well. We trapped or gave away approximately 10 cats and one of the businesses near the Get Away has trapped approximately 10 and released them at their camp. We have removed 20 cats from the Highview Road area! My husband is allergic to cats and they not only lay on our furniture but deficate and spray in my mulch. They have destroyed about $500 worth of mulch and furniture not to mention the stench in my yard when I sit outside. We need an ordinance that says DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS in Baldwin Township including the Turkeys! Trust me if the commissioners had crap in their yard they would pass the ordinance. The animal control said at Larry's Road House on Rt. 51 someone is feeding them so they are all up and down the area. The Township can pass an ordinance but has chose not to!!! , These cats carry diseases and our township is only creating a breeding ground! If you have an ordinance for dogs you need one for cats. If Baldwin Township won't pass the ordinance they should pay for the removal of the cats out of our tax money!

Jack I agree with you there and on the other post about feral cats their are cheap and inexpensive ways to keep they off your property. I sprinkle red hot pepper seeds on my patio furniture to keep the cats off it. You can get them at the dollar store for a buck. Go to starbucks or a coffee shop and ask them for old grinds, put it on top of your soil around your plant, in your garden and under trees. Coffee shops will give them away for free and they are also put nutrients back in your soil. Talk to them at home depot, lowes and do research. Chops stick also sticking out out of the ground works around plants also work. TNR does work as a fixed cat doesn't spray and marks his or her territory for other cats.

Baldwin Township only has an ordnance for dogs and nothing for cats. I have 2 that don't go outside and they are both fixed and declawed.

We walk our dogs through Baldwin Township. We have them on leashes and carry bags to pick up whatever they leave behind. I am very respectful of my people's property while walking my dogs. I walk early in the mornings most of the time and have noticed an increased number of cats around the Haverhill Road dead end area. There are at least 4 or 5 and sometimes you will see a new one here and there. Wonder if they are coming up through the woods from Castle Shannon area. I do not know. But my dogs bark at them and they don't run. They lay in driveways, under cars, on window sills, and under shrubs and flowers. I am reading about the damage they are doing to my fellow neighbors properties. I am responsible with my pets and their droppings, etc. I sure with the people with the cats who are doing this would be more responsible or that the township would wake up and listen to the taxpayers and do something like enacting an ordinance prohibiting people's cats from running free through the township. I see beautifully landscaped yards (some anyway) and hate to hear of some just being irresponsible.
