The Storm Lake City Council this week agreed to skip the second reading of a new ordinance section to allow Population Control Programs for cats, and passed the measure on the 3rd and final reading.
Approval allows a new nonprofit organization “Caring Paws Rescue” to respond to incidents of stray or feral cats. The organization plans to have such animals spayed or neutered by a veterinarian and then returned to locations they were taken from, unless the property owner requests that the cat not be returned, or the cat is sick and injured.
