(Undated) — Residents in Wellington, Kansas now have a limit on the number of their feline friends. As of January 1st households in Wellington can only have a total of four cats. Previously there was no limit on the number of cats someone could own. The measure was a reaction to the increasing number of stray cats picked up by city officials. Wellington Police Chief Tracy Heath tells the “Wellington Daily News” that as of November 2012 the city picked up 231 stray cats. Eighty-seven percent of those cats were eventually euthanized. In order to cut down on the number of homeless cats the town has also required that newly adopted cats be spayed or neutered.
