Dear Ms. Forel:
I write in response to your recent letter regarding the Center for Animal Care and Control, which is an entity independent of the City. We appreciate your concern for the Center and the homeless animal population that it serves. We understand that a new Director of the center will soon be named.
Thank you for contacting the Office of the Mayor with your concerns.
Sincerely,
/s/ Randy M. Mastro
