MCPS Keeping Feral Cat Horde at Shady Grove Bus Depot. School Bus doors do not lock. Feral Cats can Enter Buses

Take a look at Google Earth at the MCPS Shady Grove Depot located 16651 Crabbs Branch Way in Rockville, Maryland.  Take a "drive" around the property and you will see that there are a number of work trailers.  They are the same type of classroom trailers that are used for students, but these trailers are used for MCPS staff.  

At one of the work trailers at the MCPS Shady Grove Depot, the Google Earth image shows a small door opened under one of the work trailers and a person with multiple bowls.  

The bowls are apparently to feed feral cats that are being kept under the trailers.  

How many feral cats are being kept at the Shady Grove Depot?

Keep in mind that MCPS school bus doors do not lock.  State law prohibited school bus doors from locking and so school buses are kept in gated depots.  

However, the locked gates do not keep animals, including dozens of feral cats, from entering the school buses at night.  

The next day, MCPS students use those same school buses.

  1. Do cats have the dexterity to open bus doors?

    1. You don't know cats. Yes, they can push open bus doors. So can raccoons.
