SCARF, the Shelby County Animal Shelter - Ohio, and the Sidney, Ohio - City Government are working together to control the feral cat population in the City of Sidney. A feral cat is a cat that has been born into wildness or has not had human interaction for a significant period of time and is able to survive in the wild. The Shelby County Animal Shelter will conduct another TRAP-Neuter-Return (TNR) clinic for feral cats in the City of Sidney.
SCARF volunteers will work to notify the neighborhood where trapping will occur, trap cats, and return them to their neighborhood once the procedure has been completed. While the cats are at the clinic, they will be vaccinated against rabies and will have an ear tipped for identification purposes. Neighbors will be asked to keep pet cats indoors during the trapping and to refrain from feeding the feral cats so they may be more easily trapped. Funding for the program will be shared by the City of Sidney and SCARF.
Anyone wishing to volunteer for this program is urged to call the Animal Shelter at 937.498.7201.
If you have a location where you would like to see the program conducted within the City of Sidney limits, please contact the Animal Shelter at 937.498.7201. They need prior permission to place the traps on private property
