PAWS "Invested Heavily" after City Dumped Unaltered Cats


The City of San Angelo continues touting their live release achievement for 2021.  Last June City Council heard that Animal Control workers dumped nearly fifty cats, most of them unaltered, into various neighborhoods. 

Animal Services released 48 unaltered cats into city limits.  Bentwood, Fort Concho, Santa Rita, Angelo Heights, Lake View, Southland Hills, The Bluffs, Bellaire, River View Heights and Wall received cats with intact reproductive systems, courtesy of the City of San Angelo.  

The Shelter asked City Council for $5,000 in June 2021 to once again fix community cats prior to release.  Community Cats have been a top four Pets Alive strategy since 2019 for the Animal Shelter.

Concho Valley PAWS said it invested heavily in spay/neuter and return for community cats.  That should warrant a report to City Council given Mayor Gunter wanted follow-up on the success of their $5,000 investment. 

Update 4-29-22:  Concho Valley PAWS will hold a grand opening of the Judith and David Hirschfeld Adoption Center at 11:00 am on Saturday, April 30th.
