Prince George’s County Council passed the Eartipped Cat Bill in 2012, which requires the county animal shelter to notify local Trap-Neuter-Return groups if an eartipped community cat has been impounded. This is a great step forward for cats, but we need to do more.
Since 2012, there hasn’t been much progress for community cats in PG County. Each year, thousands of healthy cats are killed in the shelter at great cost to taxpayers. It’s time to ask your elected officials in Prince George’s County to do more for cats and embrace TNR as official policy.
Act nowAsk the Prince George’s County Council to embrace TNR.
To make real progress for cats, the County Council needs to pass a law that protects community cats as well as their caregivers, and requires the county Animal Management Division to offer information about TNR when residents call about community cats.
It’s important that the Prince George’s County Council hears from as many citizens as possible. The more residents who speak up in support of TNR, the sooner Prince George’s County can become a better place for cats.
