Douglas County animal control officer Lee Bartholomew lifts a kitten into a cage on the back of his pickup after taking the animal from outside a home in the Mill Pine area of Roseburg on Wednesday. The cat had been left with a shoelace tied around its neck. With cuts to the Douglas County budget Bartholomew will be the only animal control officer to cover the entire county (except for Reedsport, Winston and Myrtle Creek).
