How do I deal with stray cats that mess up my yard, kill the song birds that I enjoy and use the kids sandbox as a bathroom?
Trying to handle and contain a stray cat is even more dangerous than handling a stray dog. We have humane traps available here at the shelter. We will require a $75.00 returnable deposit for the use of the trap. After the cat is trapped, call us (352-4450 during business hours) and we will respond and remove the cat or you are welcome to bring the trap and cat here to the shelter. If the cat has ID, we will notify the owner and when they redeem the cat we will advise them of their obligation as a pet owner. If the cat is impounded again, the owner will likely receive a citation for “animal running at large” and be required to appear in court. Cats with no ID will be held for a minimum of three days, in hopes that the owner will identify and redeem their pet.
