Two cats in Wake County are safe. The temporary restraining order against Wake County Animal Center has been withdrawn and the two cats will be released to be cared for by a concerned citizen in the county. The cats had been trapped last week from a managed and Trap-Neuter-Returned colony and Wake County Animal Center refused to release the cats to Operation Catnip, a renowned cat organization in Raleigh.
The lawsuit regarding a breach of contract between Wake County and Operation Catnip and a Trap-Neuter-Return program remains active. Wake County has 60 days to respond to the lawsuit.
We are grateful that the lives of these cats have been saved and we look forward to a dialog with Wake County to discuss a long-term humane solution for the cats and the community.
