Contributed photo – From left, Andrea Dillard, Jennifer Holder and Sarah Pherigo of Animal Services were presented a little gift from grateful residents recently.
Recently, East Ridge Animal Services were called to deal with feral cats in a neighborhood.
Andrea Dillard, supervisor of Animal Services, said that in the Kenton Road area several women had helped a resident tend to more than a dozen feral cats. Dillard said the resident didn’t understand the city’s policy of capturing the cats, sterilizing them and getting them up to speed on vaccinations. Jennifer Holder helped explain the policy in terms the man could understand and he complied.
The crew from the city did such a great job that two residents in the area had to reach out and give a special thanks to the staff.
Becky Gentry and Aundie Witt said they want to thank Andrea, Jennifer and Sarah for the professional service our neighborhood received concerning our feral cat problems.
We appreciate the East Ridge Animal Service staff. Thank you for what you do for our community.
