Southwest Missouri Community Gets Grant To Deal With Stray Cat Program

An effort to reduce the number of stray cats in the southwest Missouri town of Buffalo has been resurrected wtih a $5,000 grant from a national organization. The program catches stay cats and neuters them, then returns the cats that are not adopted back into the wild. A spokesman for the Buffalo group says the program will cause the stray cat population to gradually die out. The no-kill program is considered the first in the state afor a rural community. A spokesman for the group says Buffalo has at least nine colonies of feral cats.
