Sea Bright is moving forward on its cat control ordinance, despite warnings from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service that the borough could face heavy fines for implementing a trap-and-release program.
Borough officials hope to have a program in place before the start of breeding season, which typically begins around February and can last for ten months.
“There are a lot of kittens roaming around right now,” Councilwoman Dina Long said. “Now we have to catch them.”
