Moyer Reporter covering breaking news Email Bio Follow April 5 at 11:01 AM On a sunny spring day at the National Arboretum, Daniel Herrera is crawling around on all fours.
Cats photographed in 2018 by a motion-triggered game camera used in a $1.5 million dollar, three-year effort to document the lives of the cats in the District. Nine months ago, Herrera helped to launch the D.C. Cat Count, a $1.5 million, three-year effort to document the lives of feral cats that roam Washington.
“We really can’t pretend to have data-driven policy for how we are going to support and manage the outdoor cat population,” she said. “There are a lot of questions that a baseline cat population will help us attempt to answer.” Herrera said officials need to capture 70 percent of the feral cat population each year to keep it under control. Many cats are neutered and released, while social cats are put up for adoption.Grant Sizemore, director of invasive species at the nonprofit American Bird Conservancy, said cats are “among the world’s most harmful invasive species.” Outdoor cats kill 2.
Every cat deserves a good home. 🐈
Cats live where ever they want! U could have saved slot of money if u asked me lol
Did anyone read the story? The money comes from animal rescue organizations, not taxes. This is how we got the orange ass in the white house. People don't give a damn about reality; only the headlines matter.
Cats are not a 'leading source of rabies' in the US. In 2015, the CDC reported 85 cases of rabies in cats (1.5% of total cases). Maybe have an editor read stories before you publish them.
Great use of hard earned taxpayer money. Thanks demmohippocrits

We call them the DC Congressional cats 🐈 🐈 🐈 that came to 🍽 FridayThoughts never ever feed a cat, those crafty felines have voracious appetites, don’t 👂 to a dam thing you say 😉
Just the most interesting study. I can't wait for the results. Money very well spent. I would like a kitten. If you find a nice one.
BDGarp 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They're taking over the country.
Maybe if they just put a megaphone in front of a can opener they would find out.
Babies in cages! Focus America. Cats are wonderful but $1.5 mil, really?
The answer is ‘in D.C.’. Are they going to send a cheque or should I send my details and they’ll do a bank transfer?
D.C. needs the cats due to the fact that there are so many RATS. QAnon DrainTheSwamp FactsMatter MockingbirdMedia
they live in my heart, and there's always room for more 😭
Now you get the picture: like climate change, they’ll say/do anything to keep the checks comjng. NoHateJustTruth NoUnicorns
Why didn't they ask people who actually know about feral cats? 🤔 Oh, wait, I think I know why. Because, somebody wanted to blow over a million $ in tax money.
Really!?
A human society is judged by how it takes care of the least of them.
How about that, getting paid for taking pics of kitties.
if this is 1.5 in Tax money, I'm not paying taxes anymore...
QAnon cats
With this, we might be able to determine just how many of them Donald does grab.
Enough money to find cats, but not enough money to find illegals.

The gender pay gap can add up to a $1 million shortfallWomen typically earn less than men and take more time out of the work force, which has a significant impact on their lifetime earnings. “Much of the gap has been explained by criteria such as education and work experience — women are more likely to work part time and take time off over the course of their careers, often to care for children or other family members, according to the Pew Research Center.” Wrong. We know you want more women voting liberal so you help perpetuate the myth for the pandering democrats. Though I'm not really sure what it gets you. When they gain control and control your message, you aren't going to be part of the ruling elite. You'll be replaced. intelligence is intelligence no matter who withholds it.
