Tryon Town Council agreed to turn free-range felines over to Po’ Kitties. A town ordinance does not allow any four-legged animal to roam the streets without a human master.

Po’ Kitties traps free-roaming cats, gets them spayed or neutered, gives them a rabies inoculation, tips their ears for identification and returns them to a managed colony or home territory. Po’ Kitties also socializes and adopts out kittens and tame cats.

Cat lovers think this is humane. To me, it sounds like as much fun as getting a chip in my head for the rest of my life.
