I need some advice on the following subject:

My father works at NIPSCO (local power company) in Wheatfield, IN. Since the plant has opened there has been a wild cat population there. In fact, most of the cats I had throughout childhood came from the plant as kittens. There have never been any problems with the cats and the workers (except one manager who recently claimed a cat jumped on his chest as he was walking down the hall to get an apple that he was eating). Most of the cats live outside as the plant is in the middle of the country. This past week they have initiated an extermination program of ALL the cats, including one that the workers donated money to have fixed.

I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice as to what actions we could take to prevent this. As it is occurring right now, we need to act fast.

Thank you,
Cassandra Kiger
