Shelters across the state of Maine are in need of help as the rate of feral cat colonies continues to grow rapidly. Many rescues are reportedly at maximum capacity.
"We need more people to adopt, more vets, more services, affordable services, and it all has to happen at once," Lisnik told the local paper."The quicker it happens, the easier it’s going to be." Lisnik also noted that the economy has played a factor in the rapid growth of stray pets across the state.
"With the challenging economy, we are seeing more stray cats and dogs, fewer stray animals being claimed by owners combined with a significant increase in the number ofby owners who cannot afford them, cannot provide needed veterinary care, or cannot find housing that allows them to keep their pets," she told Fox News Digital.
The shelters across the state of Maine are doing what they can to advise and communicate with the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Animal Welfare program and animal control officers, the Sun Journal added."My issue is really with the state of Maine," Mains shared with the newspaper.
"They’ve got to get a grip on this and really need to listen to us, the boots on the ground, but they just don’t want to listen." Shelters are looking to Maine residents for help in adopting, donating and spreading the word as this growing cat issue continues.
