🐾 Carbon County Friends of Animals Presentation to Lansford Borough Council

Pamela, along with fellow board member Rachel and Rachel’s cat, Bravo, represented the Carbon County Friends of Animals (CCFOA) Cat Shelter in Jim Thorpe at last night’s Borough Council meeting.

Pam explained that Code Enforcement Officer Shane Monk contacted CCFOA last spring for assistance with Lansford’s stray and feral cat population. Working with local residents, CCFOA:

* Trapped and spayed/neutered 37 cats.
* Rescued 2 litters of kittens (10 kittens).
* Provided medical treatment for 4 injured or sick cats.
* Took 18 cats into shelters, where they have since been adopted into homes.

Pam also demonstrated how quickly an unfixed cat population can grow, explaining that one unspayed female cat and her offspring can result in 84 cats within one year, highlighting the importance of Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) programs.

She discussed a potential partnership with No Nonsense Neutering, where trapped cats could be spayed or neutered for a $15 resident copay, with the Borough contributing the remaining $25. Pam offered to help establish the program and teach residents humane trapping methods. CCFOA also has traps available to loan with a refundable security deposit.

Pam concluded by noting that without action, Lansford could eventually face thousands of stray and feral cats roaming the community.

📢 A Quick Note About Our Wing Special

Our 50¢ wing special is intended for dine-in customers and is something we offer as a special promotion for our guests.
We recently received a complaint regarding our takeout pricing, so we'd like to clarify our policy. If you decide to take wings home, or order them to-go, there is an additional 50¢ per wing charge, bringing the total to $1 per wing. This helps cover the added costs associated with takeout orders and allows us to continue offering the 50¢ dine-in special.

The 50¢ price is a promotional dine-in price and was never intended to apply to takeout orders.

We value all of our customers and appreciate everyone's understanding. However, if complaints continue regarding the takeout upcharge, we may have no choice but to discontinue the 50¢ special and return to our previous pricing of $1 per wing for all orders.

Thank you to everyone who supports our business and helps us continue offering specials like this. We appreciate you! 🍗❤️
