Saturday, June 9 Alley Cat Allies and the Santa Ana Unified School District on Saturday hosted an educational fair aimed at raising awareness among residents about responsible pet care and flea prevention.
At the fair approximately 300 residents were provided with bilingual educational materials about flea prevention and low-cost spay/neuter services, and pet owners were also given flea treatment and flea combs for pets. Alley Cat Allies also donated hundreds of additional flea treatments to the city for ongoing preventive programs.
We are relieved to see the city of Santa Ana recognize and address the true source of typhusfleas. This is a victory for the cats, and we support this new, effective direction for Santa Ana, its residents, and its animals.
