A meeting was held with Cass Clark of AWS and the, township committee Mrs Clark explained that the problem is due to the fact that there are so many cats running loose and people cannot afford to have them neutered or spayed. THE TOWNSHIP com mittee felt it had a moral obligation to look out for the welfare of these animals and to assist animal owners. The committee has granted $1,250 to assist to AWS in the program to help control the cat population The cost involved for the neutering of a male cat is $10 and $15 for the spaying of a female cat. To be eligible for this program the animal owner must have a restricted income, be able to furnish proof of residency in Middle Township and have a healthy cat. Clark has convinced .the township committee that this will eliminate the problem of Unwanted cats in the future.
