WATER LEAKS TO BLAME
A recent inspection found numerous problems at the city's animal shelter, mostly from age and water intrusion/termites, according to public works director Johnson.
The front facade made of problematic "plastic" stucco needs replacement.
It will take about $100K to repair the 1990s-era building but ultimately the facility may need to be relocated in order to expand to keep up with growth.
The city owns the building but the non-profit 'The Haven' operates the animal shelter there for the city (operations subsidized by the city too).
Municipalities in Alabama are required to have animal shelters Johnson said.

Comments
While that makes a lot of sense, I did not know that. Now I understand why we subsidize the Haven. Thank you.
Is anybody dealing with this problem now? If they were able to capture and release, I guess we residents can capture and release feral cats elsewhere!
This is true most of the time, but if a cat is rabid, then this assumption doesn't hold true.
Since "whoever" has accepted responsibility for the care of these feral cats, I hope they are maintaining good records to minimize potential litigation in case of bites.
