Snickers is having a lazy Friday the way only a cat can! 🐈

The laid-back lives of our Boardwalk Cats are the result of years of hard work between Alley Cat Allies and the community of Atlantic City, New Jersey, to create a model program.

When a community comes together for , cat care, and other humane action, cats can live the healthy and happy lives they deserve.

Alley Cat Allies is still on the ground in San Juan, responding to the ongoing water crisis in Puerto Rico by bringing emergency cases of water and wet food to community cat caregivers.

Along the way, we’re meeting incredible and dedicated Puerto Ricans who in many ways put the well-being of their cats above their own. Cats are truly members of the community in San Juan, and we are honored to support that community when it’s most needed.

Your support makes our swift action possible: alleycat.org/Donate

Caring for and protecting cats takes a community. That's why community cats need advocates to be their voice in interactions with neighbors, law enforcement, and property management.

We're here to help you advocate effectively and address concerns and complaints before they put the cats' wellbeing at risk. Find our conflict resolution resources here ➡️ https://www.alleycat.org/community-cat-care-category/community-relations/conflict/

Alley Cat Allies strongly opposes a feeding ban targeting community cats in Ripon, California ‼️

If it passes, community cat caregivers could be issued a $100 fine simply for providing care. We have reached out to the City of Ripon to offer our support for a better way forward: TNR.

Feeding bans do not work:

🔴 Cutting off access to food sources that cats have become accustomed to is cruel and causes suffering.
🔴 The cats will not simply go away. They are highly bonded to their outdoor homes. Instead, they roam further and seek out other sources of food.
🔴 People will be penalized for their compassion and discouraged from carrying out TNR, which relies on organized feeding.

TNR is the only humane and effective approach to stabilizing community cat populations. That's what Ripon officials, and officials worldwide, need to know.

When you find a mother cat and kittens outdoors, the next steps you take can make all the difference.

Rather than bringing them to a shelter, which is a high-stress and risky environment for an already hard-working mom, Leave Them Be.

You can help support mom with nutritious food, plenty of water, and a shelter where she can feel safe as she raises her kittens.
