After all, many of them have been protecting cats as long as we have! Though Karen, one of our donors, rescued her first cat 48 years ago, she began helping community cats in particular in 1990: the same year Alley Cat Allies was founded. “Along the way, I could always count on Alley Cat Allies for advice,” she said. “You are the heroes.” To this day, Karen considers caring for these cats to be an incredibly rewarding experience—and one that inspires her to continue giving to Alley Cat Allies. She said she admires how “Alley Cat Allies has fought valiantly for years to explain the value of the concept [of TNR] to local and civic authorities, most of whom wanted to [kill] all of the community cats.” We at Alley Cat Allies thank Karen and all of our amazing donors for their compassion, action, generosity, and support!
