Alley Cat Allies Delivers Water and Food to San Juan Cats

Alley Cat Allies is on the ground in San Juan, Puerto Rico, providing emergency water and wet cat food to cats and their caregivers during a severe drought.

Emergency Supplies and Veterinary Support

Alley Cat Allies, the leader of the global movement to protect cats and kittens, is delivering emergency cases of water and wet cat food to San Juan cats and caregivers. The Alley Cat Allies San Juan Cat Protection Team funded the supplies and is working with San Juan organization Save A Gato to distribute them at no cost in the community. For cats who need them, Alley Cat Allies is also providing veterinary care and additional support.

Context of the Water Crisis

San Juan residents face rotating 48-hour water shutoffs that limit access to water for everyday needs, including caring for cats. Continuous access to water is especially important during the record-breaking heat in Puerto Rico.

Long-Term Commitment to San Juan Cats

Since 2023, Alley Cat Allies has been working in Puerto Rico to save the community cats of the famous Paseo del Morro from a National Park Service plan to remove and kill them. The organization has provided comprehensive care for the Paseo cats and recently negotiated an agreement with the NPS to ensure they are no longer at risk of being killed. Alley Cat Allies is collaborating with local officials and organizations, including Save A Gato, to create meaningful long-term change for cats throughout San Juan.
