A colony of feral cats that were spayed and neutered, then released, now need new homes since they have become a nuisance for some. In a wooden glen near Northlake subdivision, the colony of 17 feral cats live, play and hunt. They also visit homes in the neighborhood just north of downtown Statesboro off North Main Street, and some residents don't like it.
