WAG Trap-Neuter-Return on June 15 and June 22

On Monday, June 15 and June 22, the Welfare of Animals Group (WAG) will be humanely trapping feral cats in the Mt. Zion area to have them spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and ear tipped (the universal sign that a cat has been part of a Trap-Neuter-Return program). We would appreciate if you would not put food out for them on Sunday, June 14 and Sunday, June 21, as we will be trapping on Monday morning. Once the cats have recovered from anesthesia (at least 24 to 48 hours) we will return them to their exact location. They will be healthier, happier, and not reproducing and fighting. Thank you for your cooperation. So far we have spayed and neutered 1,139 community cats (614 females and 525 males). Please keep your personal cats indoors or put a collar on them on Monday the 15th and the 22nd. If you have any questions, please call Linda at 304-354-7506. If you are aware of a feral cat colony in your area, please let us know. Female kittens can begin breeding at four months old, so the best time to spay/neuter a colony is when there are only 5 or 6 cats. Trap-Neuter-Return is provided to Calhoun County residents at no cost to the caretaker. Partial funding for Trap-Neuter-Return is provided by The Oakland Foundation, The Bernard McDonough Foundation, the West Virginia Department of Agriculture, and the Calhoun County Commission.
