In our ongoing monitoring of communities and cities across the country, Alley Cat Allies is tracking a disturbing and increasing trend of feeding ban proposals as a way to “eradicate” cats from their outdoor homes.
Alley Cat Allies is in touch with a number of organizations in the tornado devastated area of Joplin, MO and will be providing details on how people can help as soon as we have them available.
Please wait to send supplies to the rescue efforts in Joplin until there is a list of specific items that are needed. Many rescuers in the area are overwhelmed with donations of supplies that they can’t store. Unsolicited supplies need to be opened, sorted and stored which takes time away from the critical efforts to find and rescue animals.
Meanwhile, if you or someone you know in Joplin, MO needs supplies or financial assistance for feral cat colonies or veterinary care for injured cats please get in touch with us. Call Laura Ramos, National Cat Help Desk Specialist, at 866-271-5534 or email [email protected]
