NO MORE TRAPPING!!!!

The Rancho Cats want to thank everyone who spoke up and took action and consistently asked the County for answers. At this time the County and rescue groups are working together to find a solution that is best for the cats.

The Rancho cats however will share with you the following good news:
  • NO MORE TRAPPING!!!!!
  • Caregivers will be allowed to feed once again. After 2 months of this, the cats came out to greet their loyal feeders. Many cats that had not been seen in all the chaos emerged from the crawlspaces as they heard familiar voices call out to them.

There are many rumors circulating and, for the sake of these cats, they need to stop. There was never any talk of the cats being poisoned. If they had been, that information would be on this blog and there would be NO negotiations.

There are many things that are being discussed and you will be the first to know once everything is resolved. At this time, however, rumors only help to STOP the progress that has already been made.

Also please remember to let everyone you know to spay/neuter their pets. The homeless pet situation was not created by the County or Animal Control but by irresponsible people who neglected to have their pets sterilized.

THANK YOU!!! Will keep you posted.

This is good news. We need to put pressure on the County and City of Los Angeles to adopt TNR as the official policy. When I make inquiries at the "top" I'm told that the City is being sued by bird groups (Audobon Society was mentioned but I cannot confirm) to keep TNR at bay. There needs to be a concerted effort, not just a suggestion or encouragement by groups such as HSUS to get these policies implemented and to INFORM our sometimes ignorant City Council members and County Supervisors.
