A pet cat named Tiger—pictured here sleeping in his home—had been missing for months, and his owner identified him with the other animals. Thanks to a generous donor, we’ve doubled our reward—now totaling $1,500—for information leading to an arrest. And thanks to multiple tips from citizens, police have identified a person of interest.

Alley Cat Allies has teamed up with national and Nebraska groups to call for an investigation into the case of a Bloomfield, Neb. police officer who shot and killed Larry, a pet cat, in January. Alley Cat Allies, Best Friends Animal Society, Nebraska Rescue Council, and The Cat House co-signed letters to the Knox County Attorney General, Nebraska Attorney General, and the state patrol.

Alley Cat Allies recently joined local groups in New Jersey to carry out Trap-Neuter-Return at Bayside State Prison. Late last year, we helped save a colony of cats living at the prison and helped protect its long-standing TNR program. On March 12, low-risk inmates and guards humanely trapped the cats, and Alley Cat Allies staff brought them to a mobile clinic where they were neutered, vaccinated, and eartipped before being returned to their outdoor homes.

Emmy Award-winning actress Katherine Heigl, of Grey's Anatomy fame, posted about Alley Cat Allies on her Twitter and Facebook pages this week! “A big shout out to my friends at Alley Cat Allies for all they do for community cats,” she wrote. “All cats deserve love.” We agree, of course, and we’re thrilled to have Heigl as a friend and fellow advocate. Heigl has always loved animals and started a foundation in 2008 with her mother that works to save animals in shelters. The Jason Debus Heigl Foundation also gave us a shout out! Get in on the love fest. Like and comment on Heigl’s Facebook post »
