Ripon Feeding Ban Opposed, Puerto Rico Relief Continues

Alley Cat Allies is urging Ripon, California to rethink a proposed feeding ban that would fine community cat caregivers $100 for providing food.

Ripon Feeding Ban

Alley Cat Allies strongly opposes a feeding ban targeting community cats in Ripon, California. If the ordinance passes, community cat caregivers could be issued a $100 fine just for providing care. The organization argues that cutting off food sources is cruel, causes suffering, and does not reduce cat populations. Instead, it suggests Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) as a humane and effective approach.

Puerto Rico Water Crisis Relief

Alley Cat Allies’ San Juan Cat Protection Team continues to deliver emergency water and wet food to community cat caregivers throughout San Juan at no cost. The team meets dedicated Puerto Ricans who prioritize their cats’ well-being. The organization thanks supporters for enabling swift action and disaster response.

Key takeaways

• The proposed Ripon feeding ban would fine caregivers $100 for feeding community cats.
• Alley Cat Allies believes TNR is the only humane and effective method to stabilize community cat populations.
• The San Juan Cat Protection Team is providing free water and food to cat caregivers during the Puerto Rico water crisis.
