(KAIR)--Recognition is being given to the Brown County Humane Society and the work accomplished to see cats, in the city of Horton, spayed and neutered.

According to a release from the City of Horton, the society's Amanda Pilcher has trapped 34 cats within the city, seeing them spayed and neutered to reduce the population of unwanted cats.

The release says 12 of the cats were returned to Horton streets, while homes were found for the others. Additionally, the release notes, one of the cats had been lost for 8-years, but is now reunited with her owner who resides in Wichita.

For the effort, Pilcher was presented by the Horton City Commission with a $1,000 donation from the Cruelty Stoppers grant and a $1,500 donation from the City of Horton.
