Dear Mayor Stack,
My name is ######X. I live at ######. UC. My phone is ###-###-###X. Please do not be cruel, selfish, mean, and indifferent and help the hundreds of Union City homeless cats with the four inexpensive measures:
1. $30,000 per year for to care for sick cats (only 50 cents per year per resident). The UC contract with NJ Humane Society only covers trap, neuter, and returns (tnrs). It does not cover any rescue and care of sick cats. The UCFCC does rescue and care for all sick cats in our colonies, $496,000+ spend on them, see details at www.tinyurl.com/ucfccincomeandexpenses , but we can only afford to care for our colonies. UC officials manage the town. Not any of us. Pls allocate a budget and individuals and holding space and procedures and a plan to rescue and care for sick cats. We propose $30,000 per year to start, which is only 50 cents per year for all the 66,000 Union City residents, or 0.06 percent of the $182 million Union City budget.
2. Out of control and land locked colonies. There are out of control cat colonies in most UC blocks in spite of the UC tnr simply because most cat lovers, including us, can only tnr their own colonies. Every single week we do receive calls for out of control colonies, which we refer to Becky and to you. We asked Becky almost one year ago to fix those colonies to no avail, quite likely because she has no one to trap cats. Our suggestion is simple: hire someone full time to trap cats. In addition, there are land locked colonies where no one can access the cats because of home owners. UC officials manage the town. Not any of us. Hence, UC officials are responsible for fixing the out of control and land locked colonies. Solve them.
3. Cat feeding ordinance. There are unnecessary arguments every day between home owners and cat lovers, many of them requiring police intervention. We demand that Union City issues this ordinance to prevent those unnecessary conflicts:
“Union City (UC) balances the rights of property owners and cat lovers. There are hundreds of homeless cats in most UC neighborhoods which are a health hazard if allowed to reproduce indefinitely, and most important, which represent a human tragedy if not cared for because most UC residents do not tolerate seeing sick and starving cats near their homes without care.
While always withholding the rights of property owners, the homeless cats need to eat all days and cat lovers have the right to feed them and to trap them to provide veterinary care to the sick ones, to place in homes the friendly ones and the kittens, and to fix them so that they do not reproduce.
UC does not allow out of control colonies and urges property owners to cooperate in solving the issue FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT. The preferred locations to feed and trap the cats are private properties WITH the consent of property owners. In the few cases where no property owner offers such consent, then cat lovers have the right to feed the cats LIMITED amounts of food bellow cars parked in the public streets for a LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME SO THAT WILDLIFE DO NOT EAT THE FOOD, and to trap them in the streets. FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT, no citizen can interfere with cat lovers feeding or trapping cats in PUBLIC streets.”
4. Homes to friendly cats. The UC contract with the NJ Humane Society only covers tnrs. It does not cover placement of friendly cats in homes. UC officials manage the town. Not any of us. Pls allocate a budget and individuals and holding space and a plan to rescue and place friendly cats in homes.
*. Mayor Stack gives his cell phone to everyone. This call is appropriate.
