ATTENTION
CRESTWOOD CAT OWNERS
"Leash
Law" For Cats
Revised municipal
code, approved by the Board of Aldermen in April of 2007,
mandates that cat owners must keep there cats on there
own property.
Any cats off there owner's
property and not on a leash will be regarded as "at
large" and, if reported to Animal Control, will be
live-trapped and impounded.
If you encounter problems
in converting your cat from an outdoor to an indoor lifestyle,
call Animal Control at 729-4868 for helpful suggestions.
2010 Pet Tags Available after November 15
Municipal Ordinance 1750 requires pet owners to purchase
city registration tags on an annual basis for dogs and
cats. These tags are on sale now through March 1 at Crestwood
Community Center in Whitecliff Park. Residents are reminded
to bring a current rabies vaccination certificate or a
veterinarian’s print-out of their pet’s vaccination
record.
Volunteers Needed!
Because of staffing cuts, it is no longer possible for
Crestwood Animal Control to offer its services seven days
a week. However, since the Animal Care Facilities Act
mandates that care be provided for shelter animals every
12 hours, it has been necessary to find volunteers who
can feed and clean the animals on Saturdays and Sundays
(when the shelter is officially closed), either in the
morning or in the evening, for an hour or so. Because
the shelter is so small and our animal load is usually
limited to six animals or less, cleaning and feeding chores
are minimal, leaving lots of time for “fun”
chores like walking the dogs in the park or spending some
one-on-one time with the cats. Suzie is determined to
continue to provide the top notch care that Crestwood
Animal Control is famous for, but she can’t work
seven days a week. If you’d like to help out, call
314-729-4868, leaving a message for her if necessary.
