June 16, 2008Volunteers help stop littering
Click this link to read a wonderful story by reporter Jeff Sturgeon about Alley Cat Angels, a volunteer group that spays and neuters hundreds of feral cats in Roanoke. In this photo, Barbara Phipps of Galax holds a recovering feral cat as the kitty's anesthesia wears off. The sterilization clinic is offered through Angels of Assisi. The cats are returned to their neighborhoods after the procedure and a health check are completed. The clinic has sterilized 962 felines since March of 2007. That likely prevented the potential birth of hundreds of thousands of unwanted, homeless cats in the Roanoke Valley. For more information about the clinic, contact Alley Cat Angels at feralcat@angelsofassisi.org or 344-8707, ext. 111. For more information about the cause, go online at www.alleycat.org.

Sharon O'ConnorAfter reading your article, I have been trying to get the wild cat that has started staying at our barn into the Alley Cat Angels clinic before it becomes pregnant and has to leave. I have tried for 3 weeks, received conflicting information as to what I need to do and now cannot get a returned call. Good plan if you were able to take advantage of it!
