View Our Newest Video and Renew Your Annual Commitment to Protect Cats' Lives

We find ourselves at a turning point in our work to end the killing of cats and promote their humane care. Alley Cat Allies has worked for 18 years to save countless cats' lives by educating citizens and advocating on behalf of these beautiful animals.

In far too many communities, animal control policy is still to catch and kill outdoor cats. Yet Alley Cat Allies and Americans nationwide agree: This killing is cruel and must be stopped.

We need to do even more to protect cats in 2009.

That's why it is so important for you to resolve to protect cats in 2009 by renewing your annual support of Alley Cat Allies today.

With your help, we will put our efforts into expanding and improving programs that:



  • Bring advocates, caregivers, and resources together to expand affordable neuter services;
  • Build legal barriers to ensure that animal pounds and shelters no longer kill animals in secret - and raise public awareness of the scale and secrecy of the killing;
  • Educate citizens about stray and feral cats and what they can do to provide humane care in their own communities; and
  • Most importantly, advocate for cats nationwide to save lives and end the killing of cats in shelters.

Please take a moment to watch our newest video and make your Annual Support Renewal Donation today.




When you watch this beautiful footage of the cats who we advocate to protect every single day, I'm sure that you will see what an amazing impact your support has.

Thank you. Because you cared enough to help, cats across the nation have been - and will continue to be - protected.

For the Cats,

Becky Robinson
President
