Answer
Chandler,

As far as the cats are concerned, the best advice I have seen on stray cats comes from Alley Cat Allies. See:

http://www.alleycat.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=191

If there is a chapter near you, I would contact them. It seems that trapping, testing, neutering/spaying.vaccinating, and releasing cats back to their colony is the best way to control the feral population. So, with your strays, I would look to getting them neutered/spayed if at all possible.

As far ss the dogs are concermed, I am no help there.

Best regards... Norm.
