It also has been proven to reduce cat fighting between males, reduce their spraying, reduce sickness and keeps mothers from having to protect their tiny babies in harsh elements. These cats are great control for the rodent population in their neighborhoods.

Our society consists of a small group of volunteers with an income based solely from donations. It takes time and patience to trap community cats. The Humane Society would like to reach out to any neighborhood in our county who is willing to help trap cats they may be feeding. These cats usually only trust their feeder. Even if you have not been feeding the cats, we can show you the steps you need to take to from Page 1

North Trunk Water Project will be starting soon after the Phase I South and Center Water Project is completed. Some roads that council was hoping to pave will not be involved in the current paving project, but will be fixed and paved after the second project’s completion. Council has been working diligently on a paving from Page 1 from these events is given back to the community for events held at the hall,” Howes said.

We will also be initiating a program where you can pay a deposit for our trap(s), and we will guide you through the process, also providing moist food for you to use in the traps.

Once the cat(s) have been altered and the trap(s) returned, your full deposit will be refunded. And the best part: The Humane Society will foot the entire bill for the alteration and vaccinations for your community cats! These cats will be ear-tipped so that they will be easily identifiable as already altered for any future trapping.

We are also willing to house the cats in their trap post-surgery at our shelter to monitor them and be sure that all of the anesthesia has worn off and that they appear alert and ready to be released.

We also have available a low cost spay-and-neuter program, Altercare Clinic, out of Canton, that comes to plan after Phase I is complete. Council dubbed the plan “Village of Cadiz Paving Project 2023”. They are in discussion on whether to hire a contractor or to do the paving in-house. After speaking with the inspectors on the current project, Ludwig found out that more roads are involved in the paving project by the current contractors, which is exciting news for the village. They are putting the paving project out to bid this week to see what offers are out there. Bids close on Wednesday,

Howes and Filippi shared that they are incredibly grateful for the community support and specifically Representative Don Jones for his help with the grant. Howes called out both Filippia and Brown for the extra work they’ve put in to work on the

Cadiz monthly, on the fourth Thursday of each month, to pick-up and then return the animals, including dogs, on their van later that evening. The cost per cat is minimal. See our Facebook page for further information and exact dates. Altercare Clinic also takes appointments for feral cats throughout the month by calling 234-804-3064, but the animals would need taken to Canton.

Although the Humane Society gets constant calls asking us to “take these feral cats to your shelter,” feral cats sadly cannot be adopted. Sometimes even the feeder cannot touch them. But helping us alter and vaccinate them is a must to control population. At the moment our shelter is completely full and we need adopters to give these great kittens we’ve rescued homes so we are able to help others that are not so fortunate.

The Humane Society will also have some wooden and hall, “Jessica and Andy have had a huge impact of the renovation and put in countless hours to make this happen, and we should all be proud of them bringing this grant to our community.” Fillipi made sure to mention the two other Township Trust- friend.

Council also hopes to start the Bingham Terrace walking trail in the coming weeks. The project will create a safer way of travel for residents who walk through the area.

• July 14 – A concerned neighbor called deputies when she saw two men removing tractors from someone’s property. She recognized one of the males and was able to give his name to law enforcement. She contacted the property owner who said that no one was allowed to take anything off his land. The neighbor was able to get some pictures of the truck and trailer the two men were using. Deputies patrolled the area but didn’t find the perpetrators. The property owner was contacted by law enforcement and said he would check the property for any other missing items.

• July 20 – A man called the office to report that his lawn mower trailer was missing. He left his house in the early morning, leaving his trailer at the bottom of the driveway. The trailer has no tires on the wheels as he only uses it to hall trash to the road. When he returned home around 1 p.m., the trailer was gone. He called his trash company who said that it had not been taken with his trash pickup that day. The man was advised a report would remain on file at the office.
