The program provides a useful role in society for feral cats, who would otherwise be euthanized in shelters. It is humane for both cats and rats, who through traditional extermination methods, die painful deaths through poisoning and glue traps. Instead, the rats are simply repelled by the cats' odor, and leave the site. The program was first implemented in 1999, at the Flower Mart in downtown Los Angeles. The area was plagued by rats, and the extermination methods (spraying poison) was not only making the humans sick, it did not solve the rat problem.〔"Rodenticides: Topic Fact Sheet" "National Pesticide Information Center" 〕 Melya Kaplan, Executive Director of Voice For The Animals Foundation, brought in sterilized feral cats, and the rat situation was brought under control.〔Pool, Bob. "Rat Patrol: Feral Cats Nip a Problem in the Flower District." Los Angeles Times 28 Aug 2002.〕 The Los Angeles Police Department is another benefactor of the Working Cats Program. When some of the police stations were overrun with rats, Kaplan stepped in to suggest using the program.〔Bartholomew, Dana. "Feral Cats Put To Work: Fe-9 team called in for rat control" Daily News 5 Aug 2004〕 "We get cats from the shelter deemed feral (unsocialized), (are ) going to be euthanized because they're not adoptable," says Melya. "We put them on site, where they're going to live for the rest of their lives." 〔"Working Cats Help Rid Businesses, Homes of Rats" America Now News Web. 22 Aug 2013. 〕 The process begins with taking healthy feral cats from shelters and getting them neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. The cats are then brought to the new environment, and kept in a large holding cages for a minimum of three weeks where they become accustomed with the sights, smells, and sounds of their new location.〔Kollus, Brad. "Will Work For Food." Cat Fancy. Vol 53, p. 43. July 2010〕 This is called grounding the cats (acclimating them to their new homes). Once the cats are acclimated to their new environment, they are released into their territory where they will remain. The cats are given fresh food and water by their new owners, which is mandatory because they do not eat the rats. It is the odor of the cats that drives away rodent populations. The program has been successfully implemented in the Flower Mart, Crossroads School Campus, The Los Angeles Police Department (Wilshire, Foothill, and Southeast Divisions), the Self Realization Lake Shrine in the Pacific Palisades, and various residences and small businesses. Other animal advocacy organizations around the country are now beginning to use this program.〔Harty, Nancy. "North Side's 47th Ward Using Feral Cats to Catch Rats."
