People of St. Croix County, it is imperative that you join Gregory's Gift of Hope in bringing to attention the need for the county to take the cat population problem in our county seriously and to help create ordinances and regulations as to the handling of these kittens/cats. Each day we receive many calls on stray and abandoned cats in our community and the surrounding areas. Currently there is no animal control officer in the county who will help with these animals. People are told on a regular basis, "just leave the cats out in the cold", "don't feed them they will go away", "we do not have any animal control for cats". This is unacceptable in a growing county who should be addressing the need for assistance to these poor homeless abandoned animals. 

We are now in a time of transition, we will be seeing a new county board constructed out of some of the current members as well as possibly some new faces with those running in the upcoming election possibly being elected to some of the current seats.  We need to reach out to those running and those on the board and let them know what we as the people need and want. We want the kittens, cats, puppies and dogs of this county to be safe, to be helped when they need it and to know that the county we live in, work in, pay taxes in and are a part of is a county that cares, that looks out for it's people and the animals.  Remember many of the lost and homeless cats and dogs in this county may very well be someones pet, your pet. Would you want it back or would it be okay if it was just left to die, or if it was picked up and taken to a kill shelter without your knowledge. We must make every effort possible to help rescue and re-home the lost souls in our areas.
