  • Sheriff’s Corner: Cold weather and pets

    Due to fluctuation in the weather we need to ensure our pets are cared for properly, especially in the cold. Here are some tips for caring for them:

    1.  Keep your cats from the outside as much as possible. 

    2. Cats that live outdoors in the winter sometimes crawl up under the hood of vehicles. This can mean certain death or serious injury when the engine starts. If you live in a neighborhood where cats are left outside, be sure to bang on the hood of your vehicle prior to starting.
