MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Manatee County said over 200 cats were rescued after a resident reached out for help.
The county said the resident was initially feeding local stray cats at his house, but the population kept growing due to the lack of spay and neuter interventions.
The resident reached out to the county for help, and despite the large number of cats, the report said the majority were in good health.
Manatee County Animal Welfare (MCAW) said 204 cats were safely rescued and transferred to shelters and rescues across Florida.
MCAW is now asking the community to help with the next step, getting the cats fostered and adopted.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
