Save the FURgary

Two weeks after the last human inhabitants of the Furgary Boat Club were evicted in the wee hours of the morning, Mayor William Hallenbeck has given Animalkind permission to enter the fenced area of the shacks to rescue about forty feral cats and kittens that one of the Furgarians had been caring for. Tom Casey has the story in today's Register-Star: "Furgary's feline problem." Poignantly, the cats are sheltering in the vicinity of a boarded up shack with a sign on the door that reads: "Alley Cats Rescued Here."
