Animal shelter services

A Little Whiskers Animal Rescue representative detailed the animal welfare crisis: no local shelter, hundreds of police animal calls yearly, 13 cat colonies with only four treated, and the group assisting 913 animals in the past year.

The founder of Little Whiskers Animal Rescue asked the council to take immediate steps toward a local shelter, noted 10,000 resident signatures, announced the Maricopa Shelter Project, and requested a meeting with the mayor and council.
