all the neighbors here own several cats, there's no law that they are not allowed to roam around. they don't do any harm so leave the poor creatures alone! they are all spayed and neutered and if one neighbor gets a new kitty it's their own business. cats get run over all the time everywhere, not only in this area here. just the same like dogs that run around without a leash!

That is correct anyone has the right to have 2,5,8, 20 cats if they want to. However I do think it's a concern that any owner who owns these amount of cats allows them out at night to roam in other people's houses and yards. Especially at the magnitude where it has gone to. And yes cats and even dogs roam around sometimes, but the concern here is the AMOUNT of cats that are roaming at night. I've seen at least 20 cats at night. Which also implies to me that some may not be neutered or spayed. If they are owned by someone then keep them inside your home or take them outside your yard. If I decided to get a kitten I would not allow the kitten to go out and risk it getting run over at night when people drive in all the time. And I have seen for the past month more and more kittens roaming at night. Saw one dead on the street two weeks ago. I love animals and have no problems with cats but my concern is the well being of these animals too. If the issue was with dogs I would also be filing a complaint as well.

I totally agree with you JJ.

And I was filing a complain about 3 months ago about the same issue...no one did anything like they don't do about mosquito! And you Simone better think twice, trust me they do big damages on the lawn and whatever were they sit and p..all day smell like s....so trust me no one likes to see lost animals allover. It is really over the way ppl think and if you really like a cat/dog then you take care of them not jut give them food and throw them on the street. City should collect all this animals and take care of them...find a place or an institute that can help.

this really needs to be fixed before is to late

We have the same issue. We do not own cats, but my yard is full of them. Like 10 cats and the population keeps growing.

People put food for them ( and rats are so happy too)

I've just sent a picture in...there is also a very large feral cat population behind the weststar gas station on 67th ave & pines. Someone is feeding them over there daily. These are sickly cats, some missing eyes, & they are breeding constantly. There's a difference between someone who owns a cat & sees that it gets regular care. Even someone claiming to be a loving cat owner that lets their cats roam (which I have no problem with) should be concerned about their cats being attacked by a feral, diseased cat.

Guys, you wasting your time! I've brought this to their attention two ties...there are over 10 cats on 66th, 65th ave and allover. They do nothing!... they wont pick them up to take it to a vet, they won't take them to a hospital...nothing! Unless is something going on without permit, or anything were the city can make some $ no one will care...Unfortunately. Lately we have more mosquito than any other city...just saying.

Code Ofc Dane Hinkle addressed this issue & spoke to a neighbor who stated that the person who feeding the cats at 211 SW 65 Avenue has since moved. He also addressed the issue at the Weststar Gas Station - Vince stated that he would speak to the person who comes nightly to feed the cats & tell them to cease from doing so (Case #78140). Unfortunately the City does not have the resources to trap feral cats but you may contact Broward County Animal Control at 954/359-1313 to see what assistance they may offer. Thank you! -jal
