New eComment for City Council
Sharon Rucker submitted a new eComment.
Meeting: City Council
Item: PUBLIC COMMENTS - ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA
eComment: Feral Cats-possible funding. I think education is imperative and the city can provide that easily on their website. I do not have cats but I have been TNR’ing and adopting out Ferals for about 5 years now. I was totally unaware of the breeding practices of cats-danger/fighting, rapid birthing rate, female cats harmed during breeding, overpopulation problem and how to solve it. It would be great to utilize some of the ARPA funds to have an informative city website post, trap rentals, an annual or bi-annual community presentation for residents to be encouraged and obtain information on spay/neuter/feral cats/etc, Feral cat information including rehabilitation (They can be rehabilitated and adopted out as I have done so). Funding availability for cat food, shelters, and medical for those TNR’ing/caring for Ferals (It’s expensive!). Feral cat information pamphlets at the City Hall, funding for medical, a push for all cats over 4 months to be spayed/neutered. On the city website a section for those needing assistance for their cat colony’s, putting together a group wanted/needed for TNR can post asking for volunteers. Cats get out and they roam and they are driven to breed so spay and neutering are very important.
Sanitation and community/cat health are also a big issue when dealing with the cats. Please consider some of what I have shared. With the increase of cats resources run slim to none the cats starve, become sick, and some die creating more issues.
