Rounding up strays

STRAY cats will be rounded up and neutered beginning next month, city authorities said.

The plan will cost about 300,000 yuan, officials said.

Chen Xiaoming, head of the city’s animal husbandry and veterinarian bureau, said people can help by trapping strays and taking them to vets for sterilization. After recovering, the cats will be freed. The surgery will be free at selected clinics, Chen said.

According to the local animal protection association, Hangzhou has about 300,000 stray cats. Chen said the government will work with vets and NGO groups to control stray populations and reduce animal diseases.
