In 1988 Dr. Peter Bligh saw the need to address the
problem of stray
and abandoned cats in the Kings Country area. At the time there was
no other shelter of its type and still today the Valley Animal
Shelter is the only one that exists
in the county. Dr. Bligh, being both an animal lover and veterinarian, also saw a need
for these neglected animals
to get essential medical treatment, vaccinations to protect them against
disease and, of course, spaying and neutering to address the underlying
problem.
The ethical medical treatment of these pets ensures not only their well-being but also the health of family pets that may come in contact with
stray felines. Controlling disease such as Feline Leukemia in our
community must be a priority.
