A Chicago animal shelter has found a solution to the city's rat problem.

Since 2012, the Tree House Humane Society has released 1,000 feral cats into Chicago's streets as part of its Cats at Work program. After humanely capturing the feral felines, the rescue spays/neuters the cats and then releases them back outside to serve as environmentally friendly rodent control — and stray cat population control.

The program is a welcomed solution to Chicago's rodent issue, as the Illinois city recently topped Orkin's list of the "rattiest cities" in the U.S. for the sixth consecutive time, based on the fact that Chicago had the most rodent pest treatments in the past year.

"We've had a lot of our clients tell us that before they had cats, they would step outside their house, and rats would actually run across their feet," Sarah Liss of Tree House told Chicago's WGN 9.

According to the Tree House website, the rescue places two or three neutered/spayed cats at a time into residential and commercial settings experiencing rat problems. Only felines who cannot thrive in a home environment, or cannot be reintegrated into their feral cat colonies, are part of the Cats at Work program that provides rodent control. After getting approved for a working cat, property and business owners are responsible for providing food, water, shelter, and wellness for the cats they employ to combat rats.

genius, they should do that in London, then in turn the Foxes will take care of the cats

Some cats are actually afraid of rats and will avoid them, others see them as a lunch box with a tail, and others just want to kill them at any opportunity. That being said ..this might work.

There was a mama and her 6 kids in my parents garden the last time I was in London. She was raising them behind the shed and my dad used to give them some chicken.

The foxes usually run away from you, they only come out at night and most of the time won't know they are around unless you live near a Forrest, park or the woods or something and then you'll hear them mate and it's literally sounds like someone is stabbing a baby in the eye
