Sad Story

The family with the property next door to mine had split up. The husband left and the wife couldn't afford the payments on the place. I saw the U-Haul one evening and heard a lot of noise the next day. Then they were gone, apparently. Don't know where they are now. More than a week later, I went down to the dry creek looking for a good rock for the garden. The creek goes between the two properties and curves back behind their place. That's when I found them. Cats! I am so depressed! They left them behind. I don't know for sure they ALL belong to that family, but suspect so. There were four kittens and 3 adult cats hanging around the property. I brought them food later later that day and discovered that someone else is attempting to feed them. Someone had left frozen chicken and ice cream outside. Yesterday I saw bacon...not cooked, either. Ick! I suspect maybe a kid is doing this? Someone just taking food out of the freezer or refrigerator. Is there anyone in the general San Antonio to Bandera, Texas area who could possibly take a cat or kitten? I hate to ask....but what can I do with these poor things? We have 5 older cats and can hardly afford the ones we have. The cats don't know me now and won't let me near them yet, but I can get them eventually. The last time I called the animal organizations in the area I couldn't get any of those to take a stray cat. I'll try calling again as soon as I can find the phone numbers, but may not get anywhere with that unless things have changed.
