Response to request by City Council to provide information regarding feral cats, related municipal
codes, and animal shelter costs

EXPLANATION:
On December 7, 2010, during Oral Communications, Ana Brown, representing the Feral Cat Coalition
(FCC), requested Council to consider changing the language in the City's Municipal Code as the current
Municipal Code does not allow for the feeding, trapping, and releasing of feral cats into the area they
are impounded from. The Feral Cat Coalition stated that the Animal Regulations Officers traps and
euthanizes the feral cats.
On April 5, 2011, the report regarding the FCC's concerns was reviewed by the City Council and
additional information was requested as to actual numbers of feral cats trapped in National City and
Chula Vista Animal Shelter costs associated.
The attached Power Point slides are response to the request of City Council.
