Looks like the accord between Northside Baptist and feral cat advocates has gone to pot. Arthur Hirsch has the latest. He writes in a story just posted:
The peace agreement that had held since last summer between a Baltimore church and a group that advocates for feral cats appears to have broken down, with the pastor saying he'll order a feeding station and two small shelters removed from the property.
The Rev. Reginald Turner, pastor of Northside Baptist Church on East Northern Parkway, said members of the congregation met on Sunday and decided to end the arrangement made last August with Alley Cat Allies, a national group based in Bethesda that had acted as mediator in a dispute between the church and several people who have been taking care of a group of cats that have lived for years in a wooded area behind the church.
"My congregation has come to the conclusion they no longer want the cats on the property," said Turner. He and Alley Cat Allies have exchanged phone messages this week, but they have not spoken directly.
