The Gazette had yet another article on the supposed changes being implemented by officials at the county animal shelter. Shelter officials say things are better, though animal advocates remain concerned.

Lost cat from New York Ave/I-295 accident

On Dec. 29th, an unlucky couple traveling from Massachusetts to Florida was involved in a nasty auto accident at the entrance ramp of New York Avenue. Just off of I-295. Renna, the frightened kitty ran out of the car and reportedly into the direction of the Theodore Hagans Cultural Center.

Renna is a black and white domestic short hair female that weighs approximately 13lbs. Luckily, she does have a micro chip. She is a house cat and not accustomed to the inclement weather, nor fending for herself.

Her family is out of the hospital and back in Massachusetts, though missing Renna immensely. If you have any sightings or information that may help, please contact them as soon as possible via contact information below. Also, if you know anybody that may live or work in that area, please forward them this post.
