Atlanta is the capital of Georgia. With a metropolitan population of 4.8 million, it's the 9th largest metro area in the United States of America. The city was once home to the Creek and Cherokee Native Americans. It was once a railroad hub in the early 1800's, but has progressed to a huge city with enormous influence in the south and the world. Why, it was host to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. Atlanta is sometimes nicknamed "The Phoenix City" due to its rise after the civil war. Atlanta has the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, which features over 100,000 specimens in tanks which hold about eight million gallons of water. The Atlanta Botanical Garden is another nice attraction, and contains several different landscapes to display a variety of plants.such as formal gardens, aJapanese garden, the herb garden, and the rose garden. Zoo Atlanta is a fine wildlife park and major attraction. It is 40 acres in size, and was founded in 1889. It attracts around one million visitors a year. The zoo features almost 1,000 animals representing 250 species from around the world, including two giant pandas, Lun Lun and Yang Yang, on loan from China until 2009. The African Rain Forest habitat is home to 23 gorillas, the zoo is a participant in the AZA's Species Survival Program with efforts for the red panda, and the sumatran tiger.

Animal Control Email: I would like to report stray cats in my neighborhood that are currently causing a nuisance. I do not know who owns these cats and need your assistance to either rid them of the area or tell the owners to keep control of them. I live in the Fulton Country Place subdivision off of Ehlrich Road. Three cats, (all black, white and brown, and grey) They urinate and defecate in my front porch flower bed, and on my front porch rocking chair. I have used sprays to deter them but they always come back and the spray is ruining my property. I see them sitting on top of my house roof and my neighbor’s roof, they are sitting on top my car and also the neighbor’s car. They fight, cry and screech all through the night. This morning 3am, my husband and I were abruptly awakened by what we thought was an intruder, but turned out to be one of these cats, trapped ON our front door, stuck in the decorative wire door basket. Thank you for your assistance. Diane

Animal Services - Cat virus hits third-largest Atlanta Animal Shelter

A virus that is deadly for Felines forced one of the smaller Fulton Animal Shelters to lock down part of it's building over the past several days. The good news is that the Felines there now are healthy, but the bad news is that this is the second outbreak this year. For significantly increased information, call the animal services of Atlanta, Georgia.

The virus is called Panleukopenia. Shelter managers hold the opinion a couple of stray Felines brought the virus into the shelter. They said they would like to be able to hold and isolate stray Felines longer, but they said they can not because they get so many Felines, and do not have enough space. Though they may offer assistance with the cuddly pets, don’t expect help with growling wild critters.

An employee from Fulton County Animal Services said, "That's why we just shut the whole thing down so we make sure that we're gonna catch it where it sits because we do not ever have any other. We do not ever have any other way to do it." Animal and carcass elimination services in Fulton County is dedicated to helping Georgia and Atlanta.

If your cat has been vaccinated it will not catch the virus. Warning signs include vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Contact your vet for significantly increased information on it. Fulton County animal services in Atlanta, Georgia, declined to comment on the situation.

There were cracks in the concrete, the roof leaked, and it was infested with rats. The new shelter, which serves greater Atlanta and unincorporated parts of Fulton County, will improve conditions, reduce disease transmission and provide an attractive location so that more people can adopt animals, said Wildlife Management.
