Stray cats causing issues in Nipawin
After concerns raised regarding the number of stray cats trapped in town, Nipawin’s operations committee has been assigned the task of reviewing its cat bylaw.
Town administrator Barry Elliot said there have been some concerns raised regarding the increasing number of cats caught and brought to the kennel.
“It was just a request made that we revisit the bylaw to see if we can tighten that up a little bit,” he said.
To get a better sense of the problem, northeastNOW reached out to one vet who took in 16 stray cats last month and in one case they dealt with a wild colony of 11. Their records show a constant monthly intake of strays although some months are worse than others.
