The City of Nelsonville is hosting a Trap Neuter Release Clinic for feral cats sponsored by the Athens County Humane Society, Wednesday, May 28, 2025. Athens County Humane Society volunteers will be setting live traps to catch as many of the local feral cat population as possible the evening of Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
The City asks residents to ensure that their cats are kept inside the evening of May 27th to avoid the risk of them being captured in the live traps. Thank you for your cooperation with this important program. The program helps keep the feral cat population under control. One cat can give birth to up to 280 kittens in their lifetime. This work prevents thousands of unhomed kittens from suffering.
