Animal Control
June 3, 2019
A woman in our county was bitten by a feral cat that she had been feeding. After several days of observation the cat died and was later confirmed to have rabies. There are three other cats that were part of the same litter, hung around with the rabid cat, and were fed by the same woman. Our animal control officer will only attempt to capture dogs. The DEC says that they cannot help us to capture the animals because they do not capture cats. We found a “Critter Control” business that initially agreed to capture the cats so that we could take them to be euthanized. They backed out because cats are not included in their license. How do other counties handle this?
