The Rotary Club of Salem welcomed Amber Harrison Schwartz and Alderwoman Catherine Dent of Advocates for Animals, a subcommittee under the city’s Community Involvement Committee, as guest speakers at the meeting held Monday, Nov. 17. They gave a very informative talk about the overpopulation of cats in the City of Salem and Dent County.
There are approximately 450-500 stray cats per square mile, which have the potential to reproduce 10 times that many within a few years if not controlled. Schwartz and Dent need community involvement and donations to have a successful program. They currently work with Gabby Moore, DVM owner of Noah's Ark Veterinary Clinic in Salem, for spay and neuter services.
