“We are proud of our work in assisting the community in its efforts to control the local feral cat population,” SASE said. “We have been supporting a local colony for the past four years located in Flanders. This has been a difficult and tricky situation that started with 25 cats. With the support of the town, we have reduced that number to 5. This is just one example of the many colonies we support.”
The structure likewise dealt with a personal residence that had feral cats, which were caught and sterilized. During the procedure, among the cats had kittens, and due to low temperature levels, among the kittens continual deadly injuries, SASE said. The kitten was hurried to the health center at the shelter, and after extensive care, Snowflake recuperated. The kitten was put in a caring permanently home with brand-new owners.
