REDDING, Calif. — Have you seen kittens running around the streets of Redding? It’s more than likely due to what is referred to as “feral kitten season.” A growing problem that backwoods tend to view as it gets warmer outside however for some factor, this year appears to be a lot even worse than typical.
Volunteers, Haven Humane and regional veterinarians have actually been working together in trapping, saving and launching feral cats that are forming nests around the City of Redding.
KRCR talked with Ellis Goad who has actually been among these volunteers for many years and thinks more individuals require to be knowledgeable about the increasing cat population within Redding. “I am running a free spay and neuter clinic for the public, at my cost, for the city of Redding, and it doesn’t cost anyone else any time or money.”
The finest thing they can do is select it up, take it home, make an animal out of it, take it to the veterinarian, and get it repaired.” Goad continued, “All I know is there are more cats than there are people who want to make homes for cats.
Goad added that every week they go out to trap, neuter and then release these cats back into society to try and stop the formation of cat colonies.
Haven Humane Society is doing what it can to help reduce cat colonies as well. By hosting the “feral fiesta” as soon as a month, is a method to provide complimentary spay and neutering to those in Shasta County.
