Save Cats in the BronxIn order to create compassionate no-kill communities and achieve no-kill for cats nationwide, we need communities to support lifesaving programs like Trap-Neuter-Return [TNR]. The process is simple: cats are caught (often by volunteers), evaluated by veterinarians, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and returned to their original outdoor homes, unable to have kittens. These programs are also proven to be the most cost-effective, veterinarian-approved, and animal-friendly solution for controlling and reducing free-roaming cat populations.326 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Briara M.

Tell county commissioners: support cat programming in Lawrence CountyCommunity cats (aka stray or free-roaming cats) risk losing their lives simply because they've made a home in the outdoors. In many cases, they are brought to local shelters where they are at risk of being killed. Many of these cats are thriving living outdoors because someone in their community cares for them. That's where community cat programs come in. These programs use trap-neuter-return (TNR) to save cats. The process is simple: Community cats are trapped, evaluated by veterinarians, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, ear-tipped, and returned to their outdoor homes, unable to have kittens. Lifesaving programs like these are proven to be the most cost-effective, veterinarian-approved, and animal-friendly solutions for controlling and reducing free-roaming cat populations. Your voice is a critical part of ensuring that pets and people in Lawrence County have access to these resources.

Tell city council: support cat programming in TulsaTulsa is working hard to ensure access to programs that save animals lives and create a healthier community for people and pets but community support is needed to advocate for programs that are proven to help communities across the nation. Community cat programming and why Tulsa residents should have access: Community cats (aka outdoor cats) risk losing their lives when they are brought to local shelters by well meaning residents who are trying to help them. Many of these cats are thriving living outdoors because someone in their community cares for them. Allowing these cats to return to their outdoor homes frees up shelter resources that can be utilized for cats and dogs truly in need of shelter support. That's where community cat programs come in. These programs use trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) to save cats and reunite them with the people who care for them. The process is simple: Community cats are trapped, evaluated by veterinarians, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, ear-tipped, and returned to their outdoor homes, unable to have kittens. Your voice is a critical part of ensuring that pets and people in Tulsa have access to these resources.

Create change for Pasadena cats/ Crea un cambio para los gatos de PasadenaAround two-thirds of the animals being killed in shelters nationwide are cats. Community cats (aka stray or free-roaming cats) risk losing their lives simply because they've made a home in the outdoors. In many cases, they are brought to local shelters, where they are unlikely to get adopted because many of them aren't socialized to people. Many of these cats are thriving living outdoors because someone in their community cares for them. We, the people of Pasadena, can help these cats and our community with trap-neuter-return (TNR) methods. Community cat programs utilize TNR and the process is simple: Community cats are trapped, evaluated by veterinarians, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, ear-tipped, and returned to their outdoor homes, unable to have kittens. This is an animal-friendly, veterinarian-approved, and cost-effective method for keeping free-roaming cats safe, healthy, and out of shelters — while reducing their numbers over time. Sign here to show that we, the people of Pasadena, support this method for managing the cats living in our communities. **************************************************************************** ACTUALIZACIÓN JUNIO 2023: Por favor, ayuda a correr la voz para mostrar tu apoyo a los programas comunitarios para gatos en Pasadena, TX. Es imperativo que nuestra comunidad tenga acceso a este recurso esencial como tantas otras comunidades de Texas. Necesitamos tu ayuda y tu voz para liderar el esfuerzo y mostrar al consejo municipal que quieres recursos que ayudan a la gente con animales en Pasadena. Por favor, firme y comparta esta petición para demostrar que apoyas un cambio seguro, humanitario y positivo para los gatos de su comunidad y para quienes los cuidan. ¿Por qué es importante? Alrededor de dos tercios de los animales que son sacrificados en los albergues de todo el país son gatos. Los gatos de la comunidad (también conocidos como gatos callejeros) corren el riesgo de perder la vida simplemente porque han encontrado un hogar en la comunidad. En muchos casos, son llevados a los albergues locales, donde es poco probable que sean adoptados porque muchos de ellos no están socializados con las personas. Muchos de estos gatos prosperan viviendo al aire libre porque alguien de su comunidad los cuida. Nosotros, los habitantes de Pasadena, podemos ayudar a estos gatos (¡mientras mantenemos nuestras comunidades seguras!) con la técnica de Atrapar, Vacunar, Esterilizar, Regresar (AVER). Los programas comunitarios para gatos utilizan el AVER, que incluye un proceso sencillo: Los gatos de la comunidad son atrapados, evaluados por veterinarios, vacunados, esterilizados o castrados, con las orejas tapadas y devueltos a sus hogares al aire libre, sin poder tener gatitos. Se trata de un método respetuoso con los animales, aprobado por los veterinarios y económico para mantener a los gatos callejeros seguros, sanos y fuera de los albergues, al mismo tiempo que se reduce su número con el tiempo. Firme aquí para demostrar que nosotros, la gente de Pasadena, apoyamos este método para gestionar los gatos que viven en nuestras comunidades.256 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Kaitlyn S.

Virginians support humane methods for managing catsDespite strong support from the Virginia Senate, a sub-committee in the House of Delegates voted to table Senate Bill 1390, which — if passed — would have clarified that trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs are legal throughout the state, helping facilitate lifesaving practices for Virginia's community cats. Let's show the Virginia House of Delegates that our communities care about enacting lifesaving legislation for Virginia's cats. With enough signatures, we can ensure stronger support for this important legislation next time around. Please sign and share this petition today.754 of 800 SignaturesCreated by April M.

Help save our lost and homeless cats in the Flathead Valley.We have cats in our valley that are falling through the cracks.

Apoye programas de gatos comunitarios en Riverside¿Porque esto es importante? Los gatos de la comunidad (también conocidos como gatos callejeros o ambulantes) corren el riesgo de perder la vida simplemente porque han establecido un hogar en su comunidad. En muchos casos, son llevados a refugios locales, donde es poco probable que los adopten porque muchos de ellos no están socializados con la gente. Muchos de estos gatos están prosperando viviendo dentro su cominidad porque alguien en su comunidad los cuida. Ahí es donde entran los programas comunitarios para gatos. Estos programas usan Capturar, Esterilizar y Soltar (CES) para salvar gatos. El proceso es simple: los gatos de la comunidad son atrapados, evaluados por veterinarios, vacunados, esterilizados o castrados. Se les cortan un poco de la puntita de una oreja para identificarlos como esterilizados y devueltos a sus comunidades, sin poder tener gatitos. Hace tres años, en asociación con Best Friends, el Departamento de Servicios para Animales del Condado de Riverside adoptó este enfoque al dar la bienvenida a un programa comunitario para gatos en su ubicación de Coachella Valley Animal Campus. A principios de 2020, se esterilizaron y castraron hasta 10,000 gatos elegibles a través del programa. El trabajo continúa hoy a menor escala debido a las limitaciones físicas y financieras provocadas por la pandemia, dejando a muchos miembros de la comunidad y gatos sin este recurso necesario. Puede ayudar a salvar las vidas de los gatos de la comunidad y apoyar a las personas que los cuidan, abogando por programas comunitarios de gatos y otros esfuerzos para salvar vidas que se implementarán en todo el condado de Riverside. ¡Gracias por apoyar a los gatos comunitarios en su vecindario y por todo lo que hacen por los animales!89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol R.
