Referring to the article in the Gazette, on February 17, I am extremely shocked 40 feral cats are in danger of being put to sleep unless homes are found for them.

As these cats are feral, they could be spared such a tragic fate, if they could be fed on a regular basis.

Since, as feral cats, they will not be brought inside the home, like our house cats, the solution can be found by providing these cats with daily food, put out by a few local residents in the Tendring area.

This way the cats will survive, without having to resort to the drastic measure of euthanasia.
