I was looking to see if there were any other sightings. We were at POFQ mid-June and there was a stray cat w/ kitten in the bushes near the pool area that a Mom/daughter were trying to catch. We stopped and spoke to them for a bit. They were concerned about their welfare (no one wants to see animals in need). We kept going but thought it strange - wondered if Disney was ok with strays to keep rodent population down. Now, I'm thankful we kept moving.

Disney cares for a bunch of feral cats in the DLR area. I believe they trap them regularly for shots. I have to think they'll be all over this.

I sure hope so. A friend of mine is a wildlife rescue person. Rabies is no joke.

Look for the clipped ear. If it has it then it has been captured and spayed/neutered and was vaccinated at that time. Rabies vac is not forever but it is something
