NARROWSBURG, NY — The Narrowsburg Cat Patrol, with the mission of spaying and neutering the stray cats of Narrowsburg, received a donation of $750 on June 3 from Ned Lang, owner of the local Roto Rooter. Over the past two years, with the help of John Biagi of Animal Rescue Resources, the women of the cat patrol have spayed and neutered close to 200 cats, and also had the cats vaccinated for rabies.

The members of the cat patrol are Diane Cortese, Brenda Seldin and Shirley Masuo. “With this donation from Mr. Lang we will be able to fix about 25 cats,” said Masuo. “All donations are so very much appreciated. We’ll need about $3,000 more to reach our goal of 100 cats this year.”

A press release from the Narrowsburg Cat Patrol said, “Residents and businesses in Narrowsburg are noticing a marked reduction in the number of strays wandering on Main Street and throughout the town. Donations to the Narrowsburg Cat Patrol can be made at the Little Hairem Hair Salon on Main Street.”
