LOS ANGELES >> Cat owners in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles will be required to spay or neuter their cats and have them microchipped under an ordinance approved Tuesday by the county Board of Supervisors.
A similar ordinance has applied to dogs since 2006.
Fewer than 2 percent of cats that end up at county shelters are returned to their owners, according to Department of Animal Care and Control Director Marcia Mayeda.
