Jamestown  (CSi)  The James River Humane Society has implemented a program to humanly and safely trap feral cats, so they may spend the winter on farms.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, board member Jay Nitchke said, live traps have been set up adjacent to the mini mall in Southwest Jamestown, where cats are not hurt when they enter the trap, and then are taken to the Jamestown Humane Society where they are spayed and neutered  and then sent to participating farms, where they become “barn cats,” where they will be sheltered, and fed.

She added that the shelter currently has 16 cats, with a variety of colors and ages, available for adoption.  There are 15 dogs currently available for adoption.

She says the next fundraiser on November 8, at 5-p.m., 7-p.m., will be at the All Vets Club, where spaghetti will be served, with the proceeds going to spay and neutered the shelter animals before adoption.

Tickets available at the door with more information by call the James River Humane Society at 701-252-0747.

Jay reminded pet owners to keep their dogs and cats safe during the upcoming holidays, by not letting them get into plants, which can be poisonous, and be aware of certain foods cats and dogs should not eat, being toxic to them.

The James River Humane Society is located off the I-94 Bloom Exit, open everyday from 9-a.m., to 11:30-a.m., and 5:30-p.m., to 6:30-p.m., or by appointment.  Call 701-252-0747
