North Bay Village is asking residents not to feed the cats they see around the village, saying most belong to a monitored community colony in its Trap, Neuter and Return program and only registered feeders may feed them, the village said in a notice posted Monday.

Volunteers run feeding routes every morning and evening and support the program’s medical care and adoptions, according to the notice. Residents who want to help can volunteer, donate or foster through meowmatters.org, the village said.

The village is also looking for members for its Animal Welfare Advisory Board, which considers animal control matters within village limits. To apply, download the application at northbayvillage-fl.gov/advisory-boards and email it with a resume to the village clerk. The notice gives no deadline. More information is at northbayvillage-fl.gov/animal-welfare-board.
