Whisker Warriors asks council for $6,000 to fund spay-and-neuter clinic
Summary
Representatives of Whisker Warriors told the council they are forming a nonprofit and requested $6,000 for a full-day spay/neuter clinic to sterilize up to 100 feral cats; council asked for a written proposal with financials and directed staff to add the proposal to the next meeting agenda.
During the March 4 regular agenda, representatives of Whisker Warriors told the Myrtle Creek City Council they are seeking funding to support spaying and neutering of feral cats in the city.
Beth Wright, Lei Catlett and Danie Kitchel said the organization is in the process of becoming a nonprofit and that the $6,000 figure provided to the council was an estimate for a full-day clinic that could spay and neuter up to 100 cats. Councilors asked whether Whisker Warriors is already incorporated; Wright said they are working toward nonprofit status.
Councilor Robert Chaney requested a written proposal that includes a financial statement. City Administrator Lonnie Rainville and Finance Officer Lesley Hiscocks recommended that, if council approves funding, payments be made on a reimbursement basis or by paying invoices rather than an upfront lump sum. Council members asked staff to add a written proposal from Whisker Warriors to a future meeting agenda for formal consideration.
No vote or formal grant award was recorded at the March 4 meeting; councilors requested additional documentation before taking action.
