The 2024–25 school year may be coming to a close, but the Granby Board of Education continues to build an exciting momentum. Before sharing what we have in the works, I wish to thank everyone who voted to support the budget. The board of education worked very hard to provide the best possible options for students with a keen eye on ensuring the best value for taxpayers—now, and in the future.
Feline asthma is very similar to asthma in humans. It is described as a chronic, progressive inflammatory respiratory condition that causes narrowing of the airways leading to coughing and wheezing. According to a study by Cornell University, about 1–5 percent of felines have feline asthma. This translates to approximately 800,000 cats in the U.S.
