The Star Ledger: Claws come out in fight over Middlesex cat colony

Every day, one of the volunteers walks into a field behind the Middlesex Presbyterian Church and stops to feed Mama, Sonny and Jenny and seven other cats who call the place home.

But without a reprieve, that routine of charity may soon end. After eight years of putting out food and caring for the colony, the small group of volunteers now fears Mama and the others will be killed because Middlesex Borough and county officials say the animals are a health hazard and must be removed.
