The City of Citrus Heights purchased a vacant school building on Old Auburn Road last year. It has one very distinctive feature.
The nonprofit group FieldHaven Feline Center came forward to the city council with a proposal to turn the building into an animal care clinic.
After more than two hours of discussion and debate, the Citrus Heights City Council unanimously voted to approve a $1 lease with FieldHaven. The new clinic is hoping to open in the spring of next year.
"We offer resources and support to keep animals out of the shelter system," Gwalthney said.
People who live in the city say the feral and stray cat population is out of control.
Some local veterinarians have expressed concerns that this new city-supported cat clinic could take a bite out of their business.
But supporters say it will help provide much-needed resources for stray animals living on the streets. "Many of our Sacramento-based shelters are inundated with animals right now, and they can't leave until they're spayed and neutered, so we're helping with that," Gwaltney said.
