If the organization fails to remove the cats within six months, the park service said it would hire a removal agency.
“All visitors will benefit from the removal of a potential disease vector from the park,” the park service plan stated.
“These cats are unique to San Juan,” Danna Wakefield, a solar contractor who moved to Puerto Rico in 2020, said in an interview.
The U.S. Park Service plan unveiled Tuesday calls for current cat feeding stations to be removed unless they’re being used temporarily to help trap the felines.
The National Park Service noted that the six-month deadline to trap cats could be extended if it sees substantial progress.
