Sharon Larson tells council TNR program sterilized 560 cats in Osage City over three years
Summary
At the March 24 council meeting Sharon Larson reported the city's Trap-Neuter-Return program sterilized 560 cats over three years, a volunteer-driven effort she said has helped reduce feral-cat numbers; the item was presented for information only.
Sharon Larson told the Osage City Council the local Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program has sterilized 560 cats from Osage City over the last three years, a result she said has helped reduce the number of feral cats in the community.
"Over the last three years 560 cats were sterilized from Osage City, helping to reduce the number of feral cats in the community," Larson said during the council meeting. The presentation was accepted as information only; council took no formal action on the item.
Larson framed the TNR work as a community-driven animal‑control approach that reduces nuisance behavior and the shelter intake burden. No funding or ordinance changes were proposed at the meeting. The council did not place the item on a future agenda for action during this session.
