LEGOLAND Florida has stated that cats found inside the theme park are safely removed and relocated to a local shelter. However, according to information shared with us, both the Humane Society of Polk County and Polk County Animal Control have indicated they do NOT have these cats.
So where did the cats reportedly removed by Turner Pest go? Are they still alive?

Dear LEGOLAND Management,
Please consider partnering with local cat rescues and TNVR organizations to humanely manage community cats through Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return.
Disneyland has demonstrated that community cats can be humanely managed, earning admiration and support from animal lovers and families.
LEGOLAND is a place built around children, imagination, and family fun. Yet its policy of removing community cats raises a troubling question: What are we teaching children about compassion and respect for life? Shouldn’t a company dedicated to children lead by example, showing that even the smallest and most vulnerable living beings deserve kindness and humane treatment?
Your recent statement indicates that cats found inside the park are safely removed and relocated to a local shelter. However, according to information shared with us, both the Humane Society of Polk County and Polk County Animal Control have indicated they do not have these cats.
Can you please identify which shelter received them, provide their exact whereabouts, and confirm whether they are still alive?
Thank you.
