Do you know where your cats are?

Somebody has been trapping feral cats in the area around Belleview Avenue and Kilmer Street. Apparently, this started a few weeks back and is still going on. If you care for ferals or even let your indoor cat outside, please keep a close eye on them. When these cats are trapped, they go straight to the PG Shelter and are put down. They get no second chances!

There is a more humane and effective way to deal with feral cats. If you or a neighbor cares for ferals, but need help stabilizing their population, please contact me thru cheverlycarneys@gmail.com. Feel free to contact me if you are also just interested in additional information and resources that pertain to feral cats.

Low Cost Spay/Neuter Resources

Did you know that an altered pet is healthier, happier and more content? Well it's true! Spaying and neutering leads to less incidents of certain types of cancer and infections as well as less roaming and fighting. Most importantly, it ensures prevention of unwanted litters.

Now that you have the facts, feel free to utilize one of these local resources for low cost (for those who qualify-possibly free) spay and neuter services for your unaltered pets.

Additionally, like many communities, we have a feral cat issue here in Cheverly. This is something that we at CHVDog will soon be addressing in detail. Stay tuned! In the meantime, if you're concerned for the welfare of these kitties but don't know what to do, look no further. Here are links for some excellent organizations that can provide you with guidance, traps and low cost spay and neuter services.
