Ordinance to Amend Animal Control Ordinance- Baudendistel said he had been working with PAWS and Animal Control. Community Cat may or not be feral and they currently have colony cat caretakers which has not been utilized in 4 years since created. They are changing the ordinance to Community cat caretakers. The cats get sterilized, ear tipped, and have rabies shots.This is based on Boone County KY’s successful version of this. There is vicious dog ordinance change with regard to the number of days for hearings. Community cats can only be returned to a property with the property owner’s permission. There are a few changes to be made at Marlene Underwood’s suggestions. He recommended tabling until he could write those in. PAWS noted that grant funding could happen also with the ordinance. Working cats programs also work with farms. Tabled until the changes can be incorporated at the Nov 7th meeting.
