Jamestown (JRHS)  The humane capture of feral cats in Jamestown has been successful, and is continuing.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable, 2 a shelter board member, Jay Nitchke said so far this year 15 cats have been captured, in the University of Jamestown area, 11 females and 4 males.

Each will be neutered or spayed, given shots, and made available as “barn cats,” to area farmers, that will keep the felines safe.
