This is truly wonderful news! However, sadly, it doesn’t come from the US.

As a nation, we need to return to the fundamental values that define our shared humanity and find our way to improve.

We celebrate the people of Spain for their inspiring example to the world.

✔️ Spain's first nationwide legal recognition of TNR
✔️ A shift in policy from control to coexistence and compassionate management
✔️ Establishes a legal duty, going beyond voluntary efforts
✔️ Protects both:
• The cats
• The caregivers who lovingly tend to colonies

Spain has made a groundbreaking move for animal welfare, giving stray cat colonies official recognition and protection. Municipalities are now responsible for managing these colonies using humane methods like feeding, health monitoring, and sterilization programs to control populations responsibly. Harming, removing, or attempting to eliminate stray cats is now considered a serious offense, with fines that can reach up to €200,000.

This law is more than just regulation, it represents a shift in how society views vulnerable animals, recognizing that they deserve care, respect, and coexistence rather than fear or harm. Advocates see it as a milestone in the global movement toward compassionate animal management, promoting long-term solutions that benefit both animals and communities.

By prioritizing care and responsibility, Spain is showing the world what progress can look like when humans choose compassion over cruelty, proving that coexistence with animals is not only possible but essential for a kinder society.

What a great way to respect and assist seniors!

Veterinary bills can be especially overwhelming on a fixed income.

Germany has introduced a pilot program that helps senior pet parents afford veterinary care through subsidized pet insurance. The initiative aims to ease financial pressure and reduce the number of pets surrendered due to medical costs.

Officials say the program is designed to help older adults keep their companion animals at home while ensuring pets receive necessary treatment.

Dogs play groups are a proven, successful way to improve adoptability when implemented properly and with adequate staff training.

Friends For Life has generously offered their expertise to help the animal shelters in Rosenberg and Sugar Land but received no interest from the management teams. FBCAS has also toured the facility and received the same warm welcome in 2019.

Making change is normal in our daily life, but it doesn't seem to be the case in governmental operations.


Folks, we have work to do. Speak up and be the squeaky wheel for the animals.

Larry Blackmon is the only candidate for the Fort Bend County PCT 2 Commissioner position, highlighted in our series showcasing responses from participants in the 2026 Primary.

Larry was the only candidate in this race to take the time to complete the questionnaire. He has demonstrated a strong understanding of the issues plaguing the animal shelter system at FBCAS.

Larry Blackmon's statement was his response to Question 3 in our questionnaire. He acknowledges that a comprehensive set of solutions is necessary to control the growing stray population in Fort Bend County.
