This is a very sad situation.The cats did not ask to be there,they were abandoned by humans.Tnr would have been the perfect solution.What a shame.

Ridiculous knee-jerk reaction from the Port Authority. If I lived anywhere near New York, I would go and picket these poor excuses for humans. They are too stubborn and empty-headed to even take advantage of the many offers for help from numerous animal organizations. No compassion to be found there. Shame on them. My letters and phone calls are on the way!
