The Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue is sounding the alarm over by-law changes that remove cats from animal control by-laws.
The SPCA is currently negotiating with the city on an animal control contract.
SPCA Executive Director Kari Poore tells CHSJ News under the new by-laws the SPCA would not be able to deal with stray or injured cats.
She says strays can pose a danger not only to themselves but to residents as well

Poore says they would multiply and an increase in the cat population could lead to an influx of predators like foxes and coyotes.
