Sign the Pledge: Support Community Cat Caregivers—Don’t Criminalize Compassion

Nationwide, and around the world, compassionate people care for cats who live outdoors. These community cat caregivers are good Samaritans who devote their time, energy, and resources to provide outdoor cats with food, veterinary care, and love.

The efforts of community cat caregivers should be celebrated, but all too often they are punished. Although the tide is turning, too many communities still have policies that are cruel to cats and penalize caregivers. Feeding bans, leash laws, and other punitive laws not only hurt cats and their caregivers, they don't address community needs.

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the humane and effective approach to community cats, and caregivers are an important part of the equation. Their compassion should not be criminalized.

Sign the pledge to show your support for community cat caregivers.

"I support community cat caregivers who selflessly devote their time, energy, and resources to care for outdoor cats. The compassionate work of community cat caregivers should be recognized as a public service, and an element of a humane, effective approach to outdoor cat populations. Communities should not criminalize compassion, but instead embrace humane policies for cats.”
