On Wednesday, feral cat supporters in Monessen, Pennsylvania rallied outside City Hall to protest a city ordinance that has already resulted in the deaths of nearly three dozen of the city’s cats.
No notice was given to citizens when the trapping began in March. Despite frantically searching for their missing cats, most people did not discover the cats’ fates for nearly a week.
Monessen officials have repeatedly ignored requests from citizens to stop trapping and killing and meet with local groups to discuss humane alternatives including education, low-cost spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return.
Alley Cat Allies and the Citizens for Humane Monessen will continue to press city officials to stop the trapping and killing.
