Those who wrote above thatlocal Humane Societies must stop focusing on lucrative mass killings of cats and dogs (not at all humane) and start fast-moving adoptions programs instead are proven right by Nathan Winograd's new book,"Redemption:The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No-Kill Revolution In America", available via Amazon. PLEASE read and pass around his book about this situation nationwide, because it provides very specific answers to Volusia's own local euthanasias crisis that kills 11,000 to 15,000 cats here every year. As someone else stated above, low-cost or free municipal and county spay and neuter programs (especially TNR)that are successfully lowering cat overpopulations and euthanasias all across America, for nearly two decades, must be established here and SOON! And, yes, that will help provide the solution to the unaffordable cost of mandatory sterilizations of cats owned by elderly and poor. It all has to work together. Read Nathan Winograd's book and help make it happen here!
