To the Editor:
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the City Council Subcommittee on Animal Affairs for holding a public forum on Oct. 20. Your time, patience, and interest in the feral cat issue were greatly appreciated.
As you saw, it’s an extremely delicate issue having many factors involved. The ordinance unlike any other past ordinance deals with matters of the heart and not just recyclables, clean streets, home maintenance, or street cleaning. This takes a team effort, initiative, and knowledge to get this done. It takes an entire network to make this work smoothly.
The resources are here and waiting. The cats are already here. Hopefully, the stigma that goes along with the term “crazy cat lady” was dispelled at that meeting.
Both sides were represented and given ample time to voice their legitimate concerns.
Once again, I thank you all for doing a “thankless job.” It doesn’t go unnoticed.
