Cat City by the BaySan
Cat City by the BaySan
Francisco was recently named one of the Top 10 Cat-Friendly Cities in the America by the newly-formed CATalyst Council! The Council, a coalition of the veterinary community, academia, non-profits, industry and animal welfare organizations, aims to call attention to the level of care cats receive in these 10 cities, and to set the bar for other cities to follow in the annual ranking. The overall goal is to improve the health of felines nationwide. Other cities making the cut include Tampa, Phoenix, and Portland. The list was compiled after reviewing the top 25 metropolitan areas for such data as cat ownership per capita, level of veterinary care, microchipping, and cat-friendly local ordinances.
