cats and all their descendents can
theorefical/y number 420,000 in
just seven years. The
of actions on the local level by
volunteers such as Ottaway are
invaluable in preventing this kind
of companion animal overpopula-
tion.
Currently the City of Perkins
shelter only houses dogs. But Ott-
away is hoping to someday have
a modest building to confine cats
following their surgery.
Oltaway also works to adopt cats
into good homes.
To help with her effort, please
gather your recyclable aluminum,
which includes pop cans, cat food
cans, and other aluminum items,
and contact your favorite sixth
grader. Donations of cat food or
cash are also welcome.
Wrestlers offer
clean up help
As a way to thank those
who supported them during
the season, the Perkins-Tryon
wrestling team members will
be available to help residents
prepare for the town-wide
cleanup day.
The wrestlers will help resi-
dents get large items to the curb.
For assistance, contact Jai Oyler
at 880-1712 to schedule a time
after school on Wednesday,
Thursday, or Friday before
cleanup Saturday, which is
scheduled for April 17.
In return, residents are asked
to give a new unwrapped toy
or a Wal-Mart gift card so
that they may be used as gifts
to underprivileged children at
Christmas.
