Cats live here!
It seems a not so friendly feline population of 100 feral cats populates the 1900 block of Grant St. (That’s one street north of Noyes right past Green Bay.) The city has removed 22 cats and is working to capture and euthanize the remaining cats. (Don’t worry—they’re doing it legally and under the careful eye of veterinarians.) The cats have all been hanging out on the property of Ewa Rokossowski, a recently deceased Evanston woman, and the vacant plot next door.
But the feral cat colony is not news to neighbors on Grant Street. In 2003, the Trib reported that neighbors complained of the noise and smell generated by the cats. Rokossowski received seven citations. She told the Trib at the time that she had been feeding the cats for 20 years.
In case you don’t know the difference between feral and stray cats, stray cats have had prior contact with humans, while feral cats haven’t. So feral cats aren’t domestic, aka human ready, aka they’re possibly really freaking scary. Case in point, this photo a WBBM photographer snagged:
