SAN ANTONIO Loire James of Somerset lives on a rural property with a carport and a horse stable. She buys 40 sacks of horse feed every two weeks and has had pest problems with the feed, especially with scorpions.
But a program in which Animal Care Services vaccinates and sterilizes feral cats, then places them in homes where their wild instincts can be of use, has eliminated James' pest problem.
It helps place the cats in a home they don't pass away, James said. Also, the cats take care of the rodents.
San Antonio farms, businesses and warehouses are similarly taking part in the adoption program that rids their properties of vermin. Initiated by ACS last year, the program gives jobs to cats that would otherwise be unmatchable with pet-seeking families.
