The Promise

Strider, my feral,
brush away the frozen tear.
I promise you spring.

A war is raging on the feral cat front. Whose side are you on?

My town published a warning, a policy that forbade feeding stray or feral cats.
According to Alley Cat Allies this ban on feeding is a growing trend in the nation.

Another town, nearby, is planning on killing their neighborhood ferals and strays. One wonders if they will catch a few pets in the process. (This is one of many reasons that you should not let house cats out.)

Many of us on the other side believe in a Trap Neuter Release policy as a humane solution.
Most mainstream animal protection societies support this solution.
Some towns just want them dead.

The claim is that some of our neighbors want a solution to, “the problem” , the problem being those 7lb. creatures that are usually so frightened of us that they freeze or starve rather than approach us.

It’s a battle. It’s politics. So if you love animals but view politics as something that you would rather leave to others, you’re missing the point. You are desperately needed.

If I’ve inspired you, please reach out to me. If you disagree with me, give me another chance to persuade you.
I’ve heard it said “Saving one animal won’t change the world, but surely it will change the world for that one animal.”

I say, “We will change the world for all animals, one at a time.”

Remember about 70% of homeless cats and kittens are euthanized.
You have the room, you have the time, or you have the money.
You are the solution.
