Project Begins April 14, 2025

At the request of Township Residents, and due to the high number of stray/free roaming cats in the Township, the Board of Supervisors have agreed to support TRN (trap, neuter, return) in our Municipality. Township Residents can take a stray/free roaming cat to the clinic of their choice, get an invoice showing service provided, submit the invoice to the Township (with proof of residency) and get reimbursed up to $40.00 for each service. Each Resident/Household will be capped at 3 reimbursements in 2025, with a maximum payout of 37 services/reimbursements Township wide for the year. Please contact Jeri Wehr at 610-683-6518 with any questions.
