www.alleycat.org 2 | ALLEY CAT ACTION, WINTER 2026 RACCOON Our team was on the ground to hand out the food personally, and meet cats like Gizmo and Raccoon, who would enjoy those holiday meals. Each caregiver who came to our food bank also received a bundle of Alley Cat Allies’ expert educational materials. But our action is never confined to a single day. Alley Cat Allies has been working collaboratively in Granite Shoals for years on behalf of cats. It all began in 2023, when community cats and TrapNeuter-Return (TNR) were targeted by threatening rhetoric from the former city manager and a wildlife committee. Our team strongly condemned the disturbing comments calling for the killing of the cats. And, together with Granite Shoals advocates, organizations, and law enforcement, we championed the only humane and effective policy: TNR. Guided by our expertise, Granite Shoals went on to implement a TNR program—both in practice and in law! In March of 2024, the city updated its animal ordinance with heavy input from Alley Cat Allies to include language that protects TNR and community cats. True change only happens when we bring a community together to GIZMO (continued from page 1) implement evidence-based humane programs and expand resources that protect and improve cats’ lives in the long term. It’s only because of our supporters like you that we can bring this change about—and we’re just getting started!
