West Valley City residents will have the opportunity to own up to four cats or dogs thanks in part to the determination of one cat lover.
Last November, Jim Vesock went to the city’s pet shelter to adopt a sister for his two black cats but was told that this was not possible. The city’s code allowed for up to four domestic pets in a household but a maximum of two cats and two dogs.
The shelter told him that the only way for him to adopt a third cat was to get the City Council to change the ordinance.
