Commissioners unanimously approve interim policy for community cats

Hays County is moving forward with its interim cat management policy.

Hays County commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the interim community cat management policy with recommended changes from Shari Boyett with Team Shelter USA during Tuesday's meeting.

The interim policy “supports the practice of returning community cats to their home location,” according to the Nov. 22 draft resolution, which would in effect exempt community cats from licensing, stray, abandonment and at large provisions.
