Butler County Humane Society offering vouchers to neutering cats
CONNOQUENESSING TWP — The Butler County Humane Society has a number of kittens in its shelter, and the typical breeding season is just starting.
Cari Ciancio, executive director of the society, said area cats bred more than average over the winter because of above-average temperatures, but money the shelter is getting from a trust should help control the feline population in the county.
Susan Eleanor Andre left the Humane Society with a trust that will be used to fund the spaying and neutering of cats in the county, and people can receive a voucher that can be used at a number of local vets as well as Animal Friends, a shelter near Pittsburgh.
“It's a big program, it's going to save a lot of people money,” Ciancio said. “Hopefully we're going to limit the amount of kittens coming into the shelter and then limit the amount of cats coming in, in general.”
