Once a trapped cat receives a clean bill of health and has its ears notched, it's released back to its colony. "Our biggest problem is people leaving their pets behind," she said. "Every so often we go out and there'll be a new friendly cat within our colonies. We just had one today that was found that was declawed and spayed." Mayport is working on establishing a mandatory microchip program to help with this problem, Seaman said. "This will give us a way to at least stop new cats from being left," she said. The Bear Foundation Inc., a local group, also helps the Mayport cats. The nonprofit, all-volunteer organization helps feral cats by trapping, test- ing, vaccinating, spaying or neutering, identifying and returning them to their environment. From 1998 through 1999, the foundation trapped about 900 cats in the Jacksonville, Fla., area, including more than 50 on base. Kittens and domestic cats were put up for adoption while feral adults were returned to their colonies.
