Feral Cats Are Killed Here in Arizona
Target:
Arizona Government agencies
Sponsored by:
The picture is of a feral cat that lives on Maui. There are wild chickens existent on Maui also which are a source of food for Maui cats. Here in Arizona I have a colony of 10 feral cats that cannot get enough to eat. Pigeons are one source of food for them yet the pigeons are difficult to catch for the cats. They will eat bugs, but there is not enough food for them. So I give them rice and kibbles. Yet if they continue to breed, which they will, I cannot afford to feed them all.
In 28 states already there have been programs implemented for the low income residents to spay and neuter wild animals and then release them back to their locations and/or caregiver. Apparently not in Arizona yet do we have this program. I am desperate for the safety of these animals and refuse to take them in to be killed, which is all that our animal control can do right now, due to the volume of kittens they receive. There are grants to get, but I am not an organization. I am one individual who cares for animals. Now I have discovered 3 others in this town who have had cats giving birth under their homes and they too, either pay out of their own pocket for spay or neuter costs, which is quite high cost, from $60 to $100 per cat I hear.
I wish I could afford to get them all fixed. Also I hear that this program saves taxpayers money, because killing them cost more money than fixing them!
Every year thousands are killed, when it would be so easy to control their population. Please sign and help an old lady save some lives.

There are so many feral cats & they continue to breed & die. Where is the sense in that? We need to prevent thses births & the problem will eventually take care of itself.

From Pittsburgh PA to AZ...spay and release programs are very successful. Try it AZ...you'll like it....just as we do in the wonderful city of Pittsburgh.

It's time for Arizona to join the 21st Century and offer low cost spay and neuter for low income people. Setting up a program to help deal with feral cats makes sense because you bring the population under control and lessen the damage to the environment, not to mention that byproduct of caring about the life of an animal.

I am from NY and we have a wonderful TNR program. The spay/neuter is free. All we have to do is take a 3 hour workshop which educates us on trapping, recovering and releasing. These feral cats are part of our planet; they deserve to live their lives. It is not up to us to murder them.
