Approve Minutes
Motion: To approve the minutes from April 20, 2023. Passes.
Cats
• Sunny, who was adopted in December, was surrendered because of unprovoked aggression
that involved biting and scratching. Jeff will consider allowing Sunny to go to a barn,'
• A Mansfield resident has a mom and two kittens living under her porch. Volunteers will try
to trap the cats, and spay or foster if possible.
• Sharon reported that there is a mom and her three kittens in foster care with a volunteer.
Dogs
• Carol received an application for Woof from a young couple who both work, leaving the
dog alone for 8 hours a day. Considering Woof s personality, this application is not
considered ideal.
• Jeff reported that Muffin is also a dog that needs to be around people rather than being left
alone all day.
Maintenance
• Carol noted that there should be a correction to last month's minutes: the proposed dog play
yard will have 3" of gravel and 3" of pea stone, rather than 6". Crushed bluestone was
suggested as the ideal ground cover, but that is not available according to Guerrini. The
project is still waiting approval from Mike Ahern,
