I am writing to you out of desperation. I live in the Village of New Hyde Park and I am inundated by five or more stray cats using my back yard as a litter box in the evening hours.
Every morning I have to go out and clean up their mess from the night before. I am a senior citizen and it is not right for anyone to have to do this day after day.
The people who are feeding these cats and letting them stray to my yard and others should be ashamed of themselves for letting this go on for so long.
If any of the New Hyde Park homeowners who are reading this letter are responsible for this, please donate these cats to the ASPCA who will take care of them unlike what you people are doing to the neighborhood by being inconsiderate to your neighbors.
If you want these cats, keep them inside your home or in your yard and see how you like cleaning up from them day after day.
Further, during these night ‘strolls’ these cats are killing birds and leaving them in my yard.
If you continue doing this, then come to my back yard and clean up their mess.
Outraged homeowner Maureen Hyland
