Clark County crawling with unlicensed cats There are an estimated 133,792 cats in Clark County, according to Linda Moorhead, manager of the Clark County Animal Control and Code Enforcement. Of those, 5,646 are licensed. That means that only 4 percent of the cat population is properly licensed. Cat licenses are $10 for altered cats, $20 for unaltered cats. For dogs, the ratio is a little better. Twelve percent of the county’s estimated 153,613 dogs—12,727—are licensed. Licenses for unaltered dogs are $40. Licenses for altered dogs are $16. According to Moorhead, the percentages of licensed domestic animals is likely to increase in the near term because the local human society requires all of its adopted pets to be licensed. Moorhead says that animal control officers often canvass new neighborhoods to explain the pet licensing program. And, she says, animal control officers are sent to neighborhoods where there are complaints about unlicensed pets. During the summer months a part-time officer joins the effort to go door-to-door explaining the licensing requirements and issuing notices if unlicensed animals are found. Pet owners are given ten days to license their animals, Moorhead says, and if they do there is no fine. The Animal Control budget is supported 1/3 by license revenue, 1/3 by contract with the City of Vancouver, and 1/3 from the county general fund. For further information on pet licensing in Clark County, call Moorhead at 397-2488. East Vancouver getting new Rotary A new Rotary club is forming in east Vancouver.
