They were never living with a family--they were living in and around the New Carrollton parking garage by the Metro Station. A,. who works with cat rescue organizations, and I brought the strays to a guy recommended by rescue workers who said he would take the kitties to live at his horse stables in Warwick, MD--I will tell more about this in detail in other posts. It hasn't worked out as well as I had hoped.
I ask myself that last question daily. There were people at the parking garage who did not like the cats sitting and walking on their cars, were complaining to the management, and were taking active measures against them by stealing and throwing away the food bowls we would leave for them, and there's no telling if they would rachet up their acts against the cats.
The new place is better in having a lower concentration of mean or crazy people who might want to hurt them, though I'm sure there'll be some, and a lower concentration of traffic, though the traffic in the new place is still plenty dangerous, as the dead cat I saw yesterday is not the only dead cat I've seen on the roads around there, and the strays have chosen a territory that crosses a busier road than the one on which that cat was killed. But it is worse in some other respects I will post about later. I've been working as a kitty ambassador and social worker of sorts in the new neighborhood in hopes of making their situation better to a point where there are good people looking after them and they don't have to revert to living completely ferally, a lifestyle that is harder and short.
