Hundreds of Cats Take Over Tonawanda Island

Mike Charnock, owner of the Shores Waterfront Restaurant & Marina, said, “They’re throughout the whole island.”

Wayne Howard of North Tonawanda said, “They’re just everywhere. People drop them off. I’ve caught people dumping them on the road; they just unload them on the island.”

Estimates are hundreds of abandoned and feral cats are on this 85-acre island.
