CORNELIUS – The Cornelius Animal Shelter will be able to replace about 12 cat cages after receiving a donation Dec. 15.
The Cornelius Animal Shelter Alliance, a volunteer group that works to support the shelter, presented an $8,500 check at town hall.
“They (the alliance) pay for animal care at the shelter,” Town Manager Anthony Roberts said. He said the group gives as much as $10,000 a year to care for the animals.
