Cat clinic comes to Butler City Farmers' Market
Volunteers and a veterinary team arranged by the Community Cat Network — an area nonprofit — took up residence in the Butler City Farmers' Market building Thursday to treat stray cats and those owned by low income residents in and around Butler's Island neighborhood.
The group spayed or neutered a total of 36 cats and kittens, assisted by veterinarian Karen Phillips of Hope Haven Farm Sanctuary in Wexford.
“The problem is so overwhelming,” Hofstetter said, describing the need to treat cats and help reduce the stray population in the region. “It's a community problem and needs a community solution.”
The group offers monthly clinics, a number of which take place at the fire hall in Herman.
