Improvement in the number of escaped cats since they fenced in the cat area so cats that escape cages cannot get outside, but the euthanasia numbers are still very high. 352.5 cats and dogs per month. That\u2019s almost 12 per day. The cat adoption numbers for April were very high, I\u2019m guessing because Rescue Cats and others are pulling cats out. Those pulls should be listed as transfers not as adoptions because it inflates animal control adoption totals. But at least they are being saved.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-dominant-color=\"aea9a5\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #aea9a5;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/498567708_1034198665488835_4786389324387687431_n.webp?resize=720%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55746 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/498567708_1034198665488835_4786389324387687431_n.webp?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/498567708_1034198665488835_4786389324387687431_n.webp?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the stats from Polk Animal Control through April 2025.
