Stray Cats Receive Medical Attention in Union
Seven of Union's stray/abandoned cats were trapped and brought to Hearts United for Animals in Brock, NE to receive medical attention and be spayed/nuetered. Only one cat tested postitive for Feline AIDS. The other six cats were vaccinated, given antibiotics and sterilized before being released.
One out of seven cats testing positive for contagious disease is a huge improvement from having over 50% of the cats test positive in the previous months. For more information on how you can help Union's needy stray cat population, contact Mindy at editor@unionnebraska.com.
