Stray cat program
Miami Township is teaming up with the Humane Society of Greater Dayton to help control the stray cat population within the unincorporated portion of the township. The Community Cat Program is designed to decrease the number of un-owned cats reproducing in the township and provide a humane solution to residents.
This is a free service provided by the Humane Society of Greater Dayton to anyone living in unincorporated Miami Township. Residents can rent a trap from the Humane Society ($75 refundable), trap the unowned cat on your property, then call the Humane Society at 937-268-7387 to schedule an appointment to drop off the trapped cats at its Dayton location, 1661 Nicholas Road. The Humane Society will spay/neuter the cat, ear-tip it for identification and release it where it was initially caught. This program is not for family pets.
The Community Cat Program is a great first step to welcoming the Humane Society of Greater Dayton into Miami Twp., which recently closed on a sale of property to the Humane Society at the northeast corner of Ohio 741 and Austin Boulevard for a new adoption center. The Humane Society believes that by opening a facility in a high-traffic area like that surrounding Austin Landing, it will give more exposure to the animals it cares for and will ultimately help find those animals new homes faster.
