Youngsville’s cat problems may be on their way to being resolved, but complaints to council have shifted to other animals – rabbits and dogs.
At Monday’s meeting of Youngsville Borough Council, resident Terry Chiaravallotti expressed ongoing concerns about rabbits and dogs at a neighboring property on College Street.
According to Chiaravallotti, she has been in contact with the borough over the property owner keeping rabbits in homemade cages and barking dogs in kennels, as well as the smell from undisposed animal feces, including rabbit pellets being kept in bags as “fertilizer.”
Borough Manager Wendy Wilcox acknowledged she had been in touch with Chiaravallotti and had sent a registered letter to the property owner. She said she had spoken to the property owner and the issue was supposed to be taken care of by Tuesday.
She noted the issue fell within the recently adopted amended wording to the borough’s nuisance ordinance which was adopted in response to the feeding of feral cats in the borough.
