Communities across Pennsylvania, including in Berks County, are grappling with growing populations of stray cats.

We’ll discuss the role of local governments and animal welfare organizations, challenges and potential solutions, and how residents can take action. This panel is sponsored by Best Friends Animal Society.

Moderator: Ashley Mikulsky, CEO, The Animal Rescue League of Berks County
