With the pet population in crisis. The town residents need a program & funding put in place to help with services for feral cats and or personal pets . A free/ low cost or reduce cost program to help feral cats also domesticated pets to be spayed & neutered. This will help animal populations get reduced..A program for San Bernardino county & cities within and unincorporated areas was recently put into affect,With alot of areas in the town limits Are NOT g eligible for this program thru the pawmission.org A great program to help alot of people pets but not so much for alot of residents within the town limits. We need a funding for a program to help reduce the overpopulation of pets.In turn will cause less strain on our local shelter.Less taxpaying dollars spent on having to house animals , provide food, reduce cost on employees wages to help care for the animals brought in ,reduce the cost to ultimately euthanize animals not adopted and also less costs putting out for the rendering plant that AV animal shelter uses to pickup the deceased animals. Please consider a program to help residents & the animals that live in our town. Give everyone & their pets "a better way of life . Thank. You
