***Press Release*** The Guelph Police Service has been receiving numerous calls in relation to missing cats within the City of Guelph. As a result, police in conjunction with the Guelph Humane Society have been involved in a joint investigation. The Guelph Humane Society and Guelph Police Service would like to remind pet owners that coyotes and other urban wildlife can pose a threat to your pets. We advise that all pet owners keep cats indoors and supervise dogs while outside. The Guelph Humane Society would like to remind you of the importance of keeping properties cleared of any yard waste, garbage and/ or pet waste that may attract coyotes and other opportunistic feeders. Coyotes are primarily nocturnal and mostly active during sunset and sunrise. Coyotes are typically wary of humans, but children should be supervised when playing outdoors. Parents and guardians should teach children what to do should they ever encounter a coyote. · Never approach or touch a coyote or an unknown dog. · Back away from the coyote while remaining calm. · Do not turn your back on, or run from, a coyote. · Stand tall, wave your hands and make lots of noise. · Carry a flashlight at night to scare off coyotes. If a coyote poses an immediate threat or danger to public safety, call 911. For more information please call the Guelph Humane Society 519-824-3091.
