CEDAR CITY — Two women wearing cat ears waited in the front row until late Wednesday evening at the Cedar City Council meeting.
Each headband sported one tipped ear in support of a proposed return-to-field community cat program that advocates say could reduce the number of felines entering shelters and the overall community cat population.
Shelter manager Brittany McCabe and her predecessors have done a "remarkable job" achieving the Cedar City Animal Adoption Center's no-kill status, Cedar City Police Chief Darin Adams said.
"Unfortunately, there's been times … as you have seen where there's a month or two where we fall out of that," he said. "Because we're euthanizing more cats than really we should be because there are a lot of cats that come into that shelter – many that are feral and unadoptable."
