Resident urges county to expand spay/neuter appointments as feral‑cat population grows
Summary
A resident who feeds feral cats asked supervisors to increase low‑cost spay/neuter appointments and resources for volunteers, saying the shortage of clinic slots is driving an increase in kittens and associated pest costs.
A public commenter who identified himself as Mr. Ollery said he feeds and helps feral cats across Solano County and urged the board to allocate more low‑cost spay and neuter appointments, saying volunteers are doing most of the work but are limited by appointment availability. He told the board volunteers sometimes need 10 appointments and are given one or two, and that veterinary costs can be prohibitive.
He connected the lack of appointments to growing kitten populations and associated pest‑control costs and urged the county to spend more resources on spay/neuter programs and volunteer support. Board members thanked him for speaking and acknowledged the issue.
