Montgomery County Partnership
Shelters across the country look to us for assistance, and because of your generosity, we’re able to help them create policies that save lives. Alley Cat Allies has begun a promising partnership with Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center. We are working closely with the shelter to develop a workshop program and new humane policies to save cats’ lives. One of the first cats to be saved is sweet Molly, an eartipped kitty who had been at the shelter for two months. Thanks to the new partnership, Molly was returned to her original caregivers!
Cheyenne, Wyoming, New Ordinance
An ordinance encouraging Trap-Neuter-Return is on the books in Cheyenne, thanks to Rebecca Larkman and her colleagues at the Cheyenne
Animal Shelter. The new ordinance, drafted by Alley Cat Allies, passed exactly one year after Rebecca attended our national conference and, inspired by the “Architects of Change for Cats” theme, returned home with a mission to protect Cheyenne’s cats. “I never paid attention
to the details until after you all taught me so much,” Rebecca said. Because of your support, we are able to provide advocates like
Rebecca with the tools they need to change the world.
Garland, Texas Grant
Because of your support, Alley Cat Allies is donating essential Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) equipment to Garland Pawsibilities, a local nonprofit TNR group. With this added equipment, the group will now be able to TNR 40 50 cats per month in addition to regular community workshops. Alley Cat Allies is excited to support the community’s pilot TNR program, and we hope that the Garland City Council adopts a formal ordinance soon.
