  Animal Control Officer John Queenan said he has gotten very few calls about skunks on the beachfront in his 23 years of working in the city but that suddenly he is being inundated with such calls.Queenan said he relocated the feral cats to the Cape May Harbor area in February, and he began receiving skunk complaints this summer."Nature takes its own course.One species in eradicated and another comes in," Queenan said.
  
  There isn't much Queenan can do, he said.The new beach-management plan designed to protect piping plovers and other endangered species takes control of predators - except cats - on the strand out of his hands.It is up to the state Division of Fish and Wildlife to deal with the skunks.
  
  Queenan recommends using coffee cans filled with ammonia-soaked rags to deter skunks, and notes that they would not be there if not for a food source. [ ... ] However, Queenan says that removing the skunks may invite another problem, such as the Norway rats that live in the jetties.

  The decision hinged partly on a presentation by Cape May Animal Control Officer John Queenan, who said the TNR program began in 1995 with more than 400 feral cats in the city.He said the population has been reduced to slightly less than 100 cats.The goal in TNR is to stop reproduction but allow the cats to live out their lives.The colonies are supposed to die out eventually.
  
  TNR is a replacement for the traditional feral cat control method of picking them up and taking them to a shelter, where they are almost always euthanized since nobody adopts them.
  
  Queenan convinced council the program is working.Queenan said a managed program works better than just picking up stray cats, which he likened to "going back to the stone ages."He said he has never had a case in which a feral cat killed a shorebird.
  
  Councilman David Kurkowski brought photographs he took of feral cats on the beach.
  ...
  Queenan said the federal government has been suggesting one mile in New Jersey, but in Cape May he noted that would cover most of the town.

  The trailers, similar to construction site office units, were used by city Animal Control Officer John Queenan and the non-profit Animal Outreach for its cat trap, neuter, and release program.
  ...
  Queenan told the Herald he longer has a holding facility for cats found in Cape May.One trailer was owned by the city, the other by Animal Outreach.Queenan said the city-owned trailer was leased from a rental company. The animal trailers at the public works yard offered an alternative to taking cats to the county shelter. Cats were neutered and spayed and offered for adoption through Animal Outreach, he said.

  City Animal Control Officer John Queenan said the TNR program was successful in the city and had lowered the feral cat population from close to 400 cats in 1995, when it began, to about 100 cats currently.Since all cats returned to the outdoors are neutered, he said cat colonies were decreasing in size and would continue to do so as cats died off due to old age.
  
  The city has received $100,000 in grant money from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation since 1995 for the TNR program which is recognized as one of the most successful in the nation, said Queenan.He said birds have been lost to predators such as seagulls, skunks, coyotes and foxes on the beach.
  
  Queenan said eliminating the TNR would increase the number of feral cats in the city since neutering would end.He said the cost of microchipping a cat was only $5.
