For months, Alley Cat Allies has reached out to Loews Orlando resorts’ executives with offers of hands-on help in sustaining the humane TNR program for the cats on their properties.
Tonight, we heard from them for the first time. However, their goal in calling was an attempt to persuade Alley Cat Allies to support their removal of the cats. We asked for an immediate moratorium on the trapping, so that all parties could discuss solutions that reflect the humane and compassionate interests of the cats, of their hotel guests, employees, their organization’s bottom line, and the tens of thousands of you who have called on them to halt their inhumane trapping. They denied the request, and told us they would not stop trapping.
Alley Cat Allies will not support any effort to remove these healthy, neutered, and harmless cats from the home they have known for years. Loews has made an uninformed and cruel decision. While we aid local groups in their efforts to remedy the tragedy that Loews has inflicted on the cats by helping them avoid certain death in the shelter, we remain steadfast in our calls to stop the trap and remove processand embrace the humane solution that was already working on their properties: Trap-Neuter-Return.
