DARKE COUNTY “Cool cats,” both full grown and kittens, are just waiting to be adopted into loving homes, and are available now at the Darke County Humane Society, located at 7053 OH-49, in Greenville.
One “cool cat” fun fact is understanding the reason why many people have cat allergies. One out of nine children between the ages of 6 and 19 are diagnosed with an allergy to cats. However, most are mistaken to think that such allergies are caused by cat fur or dander. The real cause of the itchy, watering eyes and sneezing reactions comes from a protein Fel- D-1 found on cat skin. The protein, which is one-tenth the size of a dust allergen, enters the air on bits of cat hair and skin. Because it is so small and light, it can stay airborne for hours. Also, the Fel-D-1 protein sticks onto human skin and clothes easily, so even if a cat isn’t around, one might have an allergic reaction. Moreo

Grant helps cover cost of spay/neuter surgery
Special to The Gazette
The Animal League of Gaston County received a $25,000 grant for spay/neuter surgeries through The S. L. Gimbel Foundation, via the Inland Empire Community Foundation based in California. The grant will provide 500 subsidized spay/neuter surgeries for approximately 290 dogs and 210 cats.
“We are nearing the completion of the grant cycle,” said Terry Kenny, executive director of the Gaston Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic, “and we still have some appointments available for spay/neuter services that will be subsidized by the grant.”
To qualify for one of the $20 Gimbel-subsidized grant surgeries, Gaston County pet owners must receive Medicaid, food stamps or WIC (Women, Infants Children), or have a demonstrated financial need due to a disability, sickness, unemployment or temporary unemployment due to COVID-19.
