Another question called in focused on stray cats: if you have them, what shelter will take them? After several calls I have learned that Stray Haven does not take cats and currently the Project Paw group is full of cats and cannot take more. Animal Care Council in Endicott is still taking cats, but you must bring the cats to them. Local veterinarians might have more suggestions for you.

WEST ST. PAUL: City counting on pet owners
BY BRIAN BONNER
[Excerpt]
The new dog-cat ordinance raises the permissible limit to three, up from two, of either animal. With a special permit, residents can own up to six animals — as long as no more than three are dogs. Service animals and those temporarily sheltered as part of a foster-care program are exempt.
