DATA RELEASED ON STRAY AND DEAD CATS FOUND IN MAPLEWOOD

About a month after the Township Committee approved a controversial plan to allow the capturing, spaying/neutering and release of stray cats, Health Officer Robert Roe updated the TC Tuesday with data indicating how many stray and dead cats had been found annually in recent years.

It shows that since 2011, the Township's animal control has picked up 296 live stray cats and placed them in shelters, with vets or back with their owners, while another 282 dead cats were found.

2012 seemed to be a particularly bad year, but perhaps that had something to do with Hurricane Sandy. 

The data, along with projections for the new program, are in a document issued to the TC below:
