‘Contagious illness’ leads to CMHS to halt intake of cats
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Central Missouri Humane Society announced in a Friday press release that it is halting its intake of cats because of “the presence of a contagious upper respiratory illness within the shelter.”
CMHS will waive adoption fees for all cats through Friday, Dec. 26.
“Reducing our feline population is one of the most effective ways we can slow the spread of illness and keep cats comfortable while they recover,” CMHS Executive Director Julie Aber was quoted in the release. “Adoption or even temporary fostering makes an immediate difference for our feline population.”
The release says the fees are waived for cats at the shelter on Big Bear Boulevard and claims all cats there are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.
