Jamestown (CSi) The James River Humane Society in Jamestown has re-started the humane trapping of feral cats in town.
On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, James River Humane Society, board member Jay Nitchke said, The area around the University of Jamestown will be concentrated on first with 20 traps set. The cats will be released to the shelter, where they will receive medical attention, including shots, plus spaying and neutering of the animals. The program will continue in other areas of Jamestown through the summer.
Jay added that anyone with a farm that would like to have a cat as a barn cat, may contact the James River Humane Society this week, at 701-252-0747. Call that same number if anyone knows of other areas of Jamestown populated by feral cats.
She said while ridding areas of the feral cats, the service also cuts down on the cat population, by taking them “off the streets,” and limiting reproduction.
On another topic, Jay said Pizza Ranch in Jamestown will donate 25 percent of its proceeds on Monday May 13 to the James River Humane Society between, 5-p.m., and 8-p.m.
Those participating must provide an available flyer at the time of service.
This month Jay highlighted a ten year old Doberman available for adoption seeking companionship and a home after its owner had to enter a nursing home.
She also highlighted two young male border collie mixed breed dogs available for adoption.
She pointed out that the shelter has many cats available for adoption as well.
The shelter is in need of donations of kitten food.
