Hilton Head cat colony may face relocation proposal

postandcourier.com

Beaufort County officials are considering a new wildlife management policy that may lead to the relocation of a cat colony at Hilton Head Island Airport. The policy would prohibit feeding animals on airport property and is set for discussion on March 17. The proposed rules follow concerns raised during a Federal Aviation Administration inspection about animals near the airport. If approved, local animal services would trap and relocate the cats, including a popular cat named Friday. An online petition to save Friday has gained over 1,600 signatures, arguing that the cat colony has not posed a problem. The county emphasizes that passenger and animal safety is a priority in their decision-making.
