Homes for cats and kittens are one of Carroll County Animal Support’s toughest tasks.

It is CCAS policy that the animals will be “fully vetted” (meaning they will be either spayed or neutered and have all up-to-date shots) before they are adopted.

Dog adoptions require both an approved adoption application and an adoption fee.

As cats and kittens are difficult to get adoption fees for, the group gets donations to have the cat “fully vetted.”

This ensures that CCAS cats will not be producing more cats.

Air National Guard Airman Jeffrey M. Moore graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.
