Baseball fans will have to coexist with the feral cats living at the Oakland Coliseum.

Since the Coliseum was constructed in the '60s cats have called it home, they eat well and they work for it.
"The cats have been doing an excellent job. Staff commented that they have not seen a rodent in over two years," Henry Gardner Executive Director of the Coliseum Authority told KCBS Radio.
Gardner said the staff doesn't feed the cats, they find their own food in the area while also keeping the stadium free of rodents and he added we should praise the cats for their work.
"We do not actively because of our number of activities out there, they find food," Gardner explained. "When we have big events, you know people don't always consume everything they purchase and it sometimes ends up on the ground."
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Island Cat Resources and Adoption will capture the adults and spay, neuter and release them back to the Coliseum. The kittens will be put up for adoption at the Oakland Animal Shelter.
"So, it's a matter of now controlling the current population so that we can coexist and that’s cats can still do their work," he said.
