54 feral cats get a new home in Ramona

It's always good to see wildlife saved even when the wildlife is in the wrong area, such as the pythons that are taking over the Everglades in Florida.

Here in California, the state, counties, and cities are trying to restore areas to their natural flora and fauna, and that sometimes means getting rid of flora and fauna that have been here for many decades, sometimes even centuries.

The most recent example is the case of the feral cats on the island of San Nicholas.

San Nicholas is officially uninhabited, but at any given time there are about 200 military personnel on the island. It is 14,562 acres and is used by the United States Navy as a weapons testing and training facility.

The island has been overrun by feral cats, but to help nesting seabirds, the Navy, Humane Society, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the California Department of Fish and Game have been trapping the cats since June 2009. Normally the feral cats are euthanized because they are too wild to be adoptable.

However, DoGreatGood.com donated more than $100,000 to build a habitat at the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona, about 45 miles from downtown San Diego, where 54 feral cats get the chance to live out their lives in peace and quiet. As many as 18 kittens might be adoptable if they can be domesticated.
