Montbéliard stray cats: One Voice is asking the town council to take responsibility.
In Montbéliard, the town council prefers to take away shelters for stray cats rather than getting them neutered.
Once again, One Voice has been warned by supporters about the fact that a town council is refusing to implement neutering campaigns for stray cats. Today, it is the Montbéliard mayor who is threatening to take away shelters for stray cats on the basis that it should stop proliferation.
Even though the Montbéliard Town Council had had shelters installed for stray cats a few years ago, they have just realised that this did not prevent cats from continuing to reproduce! In response, they threatened to take away the shelters, instead of proceeding with a neutering campaign. A petition for the attention of the town council was also launched by the inhabitants and those protecting cats in the neighbourhood.
One Voice therefore wrote to the Montbéliard mayor today to inform her of her misunderstanding and to remind her that the legislation in place requires mayors to get stray cats neutered before using a pound service.
The essential rallying and the letter we wrote to the Songeons Town Council have finally paid off given that the Mayor has realised his error and repealed his decree. We hope that the Mayor of Montbéliard does the same.
Sign our petition for the implementation of a national plan to put an end to feline straying.
