Nonprofit animal group wants to spay, neuter Anchorage feral cats to bring numbers down
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A nonprofit animal group is campaigning to lower the number of feral cats in Anchorage by catching them, spaying or neutering them, then returning them to the streets.
KTUU (https://is.gd/hoDjUG) says the group behind the effort is called Mojo’s Hope, which was co-founded by Shannon Basner.
The group typically helps special-needs pets like her dog Mojo, which used a wheelchair.
Basner says feral cats also are special-needs animals because of their avoidance of human interaction.
Her group is seeking to have a city law changed to allow spaying and neutering of feral cats.
The Anchorage Animal Control Board has heard the group’s idea, but hasn’t taken a stance on the issue.
