CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A new low-cost program is being offered to help address the feral cat problem in Clearlake.
Bill Davidson, Lake County Animal Care and Control director, said the nonprofit Animal Coalition of Lake County had requested help getting a program in place to reduce the city’s feral cat population.
Davidson said he consulted with the county’s Animal Control Advisory Board and local veterinarians, and came up with a proposal to allow the coalition to issue city residents vouchers for altering, vaccinating and ear notching stray community cats.
While not free like the program offered to county residents – which is funded through a grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – Davidson said the new Clearlake program is low cost, at $25 per cat.
The program is being operated and funded by the Animal Coalition of Lake County.
