Harbourville Cats still around

The following is an email I recieved moments ago from Laurie Wheeler, of HART

Hello everyone,
Scott Saunders, Anthony Watton and myself all went to the Wharf at Harbourville late this afternoon to post signs. Much to our total disbelief we immediately spotted two ferals on the restaurant deck. I will attach pics later, IF they turned out. We were so shocked. These are the two that live under the deck area of the restaurant. We immediately went over to the rocks by the water, not too close to the restaurant, and didn't see any evidence of the other cats. We waited a while, but nothing. We are wondering if perhaps the colony living in the rocks are the ones removed? We have no idea why the two cats at the restaurant went missing for a few days. When I had received the telephone call from the restaurant owner, Elke Huber, she was adamant that ALL of the feral cats were gone. She was very sure of it. We are praying that they are still alive, but still have many doubts. I personally can't help but wonder why the two we saw this evening were there if the others are gone, or why they went missing for a few days, and did not touch their every day feedings for a few days .... beats the heck out of me. Needless to say, we did not post ANYTHING. If ALL of the ferals are still there then we still want to perform a TNR. We want this done ASAP. We cannot do anything until we know we can return these cats after having them altered and tested, IF they are still there. If there are only the two cats by the restaurant we will still TNR those two. A meeting must be held asap regarding this URGENT matter to deal with these cats PROPERLY (TNR). I wish we knew had more proof of whether they are or are not there. I need someone to camp out there and watch the "rock area"!!! Any volunteers??!!!
