๐ฑ Animal Care of Davis County Faces Kitten Surge, Requests Community Help
Animal Care of Davis County says it is currently supporting more than 160 kittens in foster homes and is preparing for even more arrivals during the busy kitten season. The shelter is asking the community for donations of critical supplies, with SnuggleSafe warming discs, kitten formula, bottles, nipples, and canned kitten food topping the list.
Local foster volunteers are helping care for hundreds of vulnerable kittens, and community donations directly help Animal Care of Davis County continue providing lifesaving support throughout Davis County.

โ ๏ธ Neighborhood Alert Shared on Nextdoor
A post circulating on Nextdoor reports that two men in a black sedan have been approaching residents in the Mueller Park and Stone Ridge neighborhoods and asking questions about the area. The post states that multiple reports have been made to Bountiful Police and encourages residents to contact the non-emergency line if they observe suspicious activity.
Neighborhood awareness can help residents stay informed while law enforcement determines whether any public safety concerns exist.

๐จ Fatal Shooting Under Investigation in Davis County
A man was found dead Saturday evening after deputies responded to reports of shots fired in West Point. The Davis County Sheriff's Office says no suspects have been identified, but investigators are searching for a maroon sedan with an orange-colored rear license plate cover that was seen leaving the area.
While the investigation remains active, residents are being asked to stay alert and contact authorities if they have information that could help identify the vehicle.
