Board reports trapper hired, small caseload and steady food-donation distribution
Summary
Members said a hired trapper is bringing cats to surgery and that only a few male cats (about five to six) remain to be fixed; the food-donation program is active and staff and volunteers distributed supplies to feeders.
Board members reported that a trapper has been hired and is taking animals for surgery as part of the trapping-and-release program. The chair said the board's priority is aiding sick cats and estimated there are "no more than 5 or 6 cats" remaining that need to be fixed. "We have a trapper that we hired, and she's doing she's taking the cuts to the surgery and everything," the chair said during the update.
The food-donation program was described as working well: the board picked up food for community feeders and distribution is being handled with the board secretary, Rosaura. Members asked to publicize donation points on event flyers and in the Friday newsletter to increase neighborhood donations. A feeder named Yolanda was mentioned as the staff contact for specific counts; members noted they will follow up to get exact numbers rather than relying on estimates provided at the meeting.
Volunteers discussed wearing T-shirts while feeding so residents recognize them and suggested collecting donations at outreach events. The board said it will continue coordinated pickups and distribution with local feeders.
