Feral Cat Ordinance Passed By Township Council

FERAL CAT ADVOCATE – Tamar Thier, a former Franklin residents, speaks in favor of the Township adopting a “Trap, Neuter, Return” program at the September 9 Township Council meeting.

An ordinance that regulates the feeding and care of feral cat colonies – and which generated a fair amount of controversy – was finally adopted by the Township Council at its September 9 meeting.

Ordinance opponents from the township and surrounding communities tried to talk the Council into adopting a so-called “Trap, Neuter, Return” program instead of the ordinance, but to no avail. Under that type of program, also known as TNR, stray animals are caught, spayed or neutered and then returned to the wild. The program is seen as an effective way to keep stray animals, especially cats, from reproducing.
