Local animal agencies have developed a shared reporting system to help reduce the number of animals euthanized in the county.
The fluffy orange cat at Pinellas County Animal Services purred loudly and persistently. Perhaps it was aware of the fate of some fellow felines in Pinellas County — at least the story told through the numbers. Cats represented 54 percent of all intakes at several local animal shelters in October. And 69 percent of the cats were euthanized. The numbers come from Humane Society of Pinellas, Pet Pal Animal Shelter, Pinellas County Animal Services and SPCA Tampa Bay, which account for about 80 to 90 percent of the animals received each month, agency representatives said.

Meet Snow White (#289908). She is a seven year old kitty who weighs in at 10 pounds. Fun and playful, she has been waiting a long time for her prince charming to come to the rescue. As an added bonus, people who have cat allergies normally do not react to white colored cats… so, you may want to give her a chance if you have had a reaction in the past. If you bring this article with you to Animal Services, Snow White can be yours for the low fee of $25.
