Cool Sandy Beach area – Stray Cat Problem
Letter from Heather DeArcangelis, 14 Hope Way regarding a stray cat problem
Laura Pease attended meeting.
The Board reviewed letter and spoke with Laura Pease, Animal Control Officer. There is no funding at this time to conduct any further trapping and spaying/neutering. Scott Gilroy concerned about how cats are using area. We don’t have an acting program underway. There are at least 2 sets of litters. Laura Pease said she is working more hours than she is currently get paid for. Board was concerned that these cats are not up-to-date on rabies shots. The Board will look into grants for funding for spay/neuter and/or rabies control. If grants are not available, they may put an article requesting funding at a town meeting. It was estimated that it would cost approximately $3,500 for the program.
