Metro Animal Shelter

It appears that everyone is getting into the Halloween spirit.

In a recent podcast episode of Report to Wyoming, the superintendent of Metro Animal Shelter, Scott Schell, talks about the potential for a trap-neuter-return program to address the pervasive problem of strays in the Casper-area.

It's called 'Whiskers and Meows Cat Café' and, as the name implies, it's part drink-shop, part cat rescue. It's also the first cat café in Wyoming.

Casper police say 6-year employee at Metro Animal Shelter took thousands of dollars in small increments during his employment at the facility.

Animal control officers began by removing six to eight dogs from a bedroom.

If you're looking for a "purr-fect" Valentine's Day present for the cat person in your family, this is the event for you.

In addition to the rabbits, 27 dogs of various breeds will also be up for adoption on Wednesday.

All of the animals were taken to the Metro Animal Shelter to be evaluated by a veterinarian.

Casper Police Department Public Information Officer Rebekah Ladd said the situation is similar in some ways to another incident in July.

Individuals interested in adopting these rescued exotic birds are encouraged to complete an adoption application through the Gabriel Foundation.
