EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Volunteers with the Greenhill Humane Society are trying to reduce the population of feral cats in Lane County by slowing down reproduction.
They’ve been setting out traps baited with tuna or cat food.
The trapped cats are neutered and then released back in their neighborhood.
Humane Society Executive Director Cary Lieberman told KVAL-TV nearly 2,000 cats have been sterilized in the past three years.
