Woman told to stop feeding hungry stray cats
The Canton City Health Department issued a public health nuisance notice to Margaret Hughes. The woman says she never thought feeding a couple of stray cats would get her into trouble.
She was ordered to stop caring for Ghost, a stray cat she has been helping for over two years. Ghost the cat has always found a bowl of food and a warm bed on Hughes’ back porch. But no more….
Hughes says she feels terrible that she can not feed the cats, but she knows she can’t break the law either. The health department’s letter also states she can no longer care for any other strays that may come her way.
The letter says stray cats are a real nuisance in the city. The department told Hughes she could keep the cats if she got them vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and then brought them indoors. But Hughes says that on her fixed income, she would not be able to manage.
