Volunteers Seek Donations Today To Help Feral Cats At Molino Store
November 9, 2013
The Junior Humane Society will be raising funds today to spay a neuter a feral cat colony that lives behind the Dollar General in Molino.
Volunteers will be collecting donations from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Jimmy’s Grill, next door to the Dollar General on Highway 29 near Molino Road. Junior Humane Society volunteer Ashley Sui estimates there are at least a dozen of the feral cats.
“The kittens can be socialized and adopted out but the older cats are completely feral so we are trapping, spaying or neutering and releasing them back to the location where we trapped them,” she said. ” We just have to get them to stop reproducing.”
