I’m so upset I don’t even know what I’m doing.
I work as regional manager for a property management firm in Orlando. We deal primarily with large apartment complexes. This morning one of the managers for a complex in my portfolio called to tell me that several residents there paid a “trapper” to trap and dispose of an established feral colony on the property.
I immediately drove the hour and a half to the property and spoke to the staff and several eye witnesses. They’ve all told me essentially the same story--that three men showed up with noose hooks and pellet guns and removed the eight de-sexed, vaccinated and perfectly healthy cats that made up the colony. They put them in covered plastic tubs (not carriers) with no air holes and took them away in the back of two pickup trucks.
They were paid $200.00 and have most likely murdered those cats. The property manager, several members of maintenance and I have gone through every cat at the local shelters and ours aren’t there.
We’ve looked everywhere.
I will be exercising my legal right to get rid of the residents who paid the trappers. When those residents require rental history, I will disclose the fact that I would NEVER rent to them again because they illegally entered into a contract which permanently altered the property. Our attorneys are drafting the Seven Day Notices at this very moment which I will personally deliver before leaving today. They will have seven days, not a second longer, to pack their belongings and go.
When I find the trappers—and I will, I promise--I’m going to sue them into oblivion. They had no legal right to do what they did and they knew that.
Those eight cats were sweet and good and never bothered a soul. One was a stray that our vet said had to be close to fifteen.
I honestly cannot believe this is happening.
I just can’t believe it.
