 We won’t stop speaking out for Waconia cats
 In a dangerous and irresponsible move, Waconia, Minnesota, passed a cat leash 
law—and applied other unrealistic and ineffective measures to cats.
 Alley Cat Allies 
wrote a letter urging the Waconia City Council to oppose these amendments to its 
ordinance, which added cats slapdash to laws regulating dogs. Unfortunately, the 
amendments passed regardless.
 We aren’t done: We’re going to take action to protect Waconia’s cats—especially 
community cats, who are at the most risk from the city’s decision.
 Our Veterinarian Training Program™ kicked off in Saint Kitts
 Recently, Alley Cat Allies was on the Island of 
Saint Kitts educating veterinarians and veterinary students at the Ross University 
School of Veterinary Medicine on lifesaving Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for 
community cats.
 Meeting and helping to train the rising generation of veterinarians was beyond 
inspiring—the future of our movement to protect all cats looks bright.
 (Ross University students have a great appreciation for community cats, with 
active groups focused on community cat care and education on campus. The 
regal T’Challa, a campus community cat, is something of a legend!)
 And that’s what the new Alley Cat Allies Veterinarian Training Program™ is all 
about; equipping the veterinarians of today AND tomorrow with the techniques, 
knowledge, and drive to protect cats who live outdoors just as much as those who 
live indoors. High-quality, high-volume spay and neuter and TNR are the primary 
focuses of this lifesaving program.
 Keeping families together™ with a successful food bank in Atlantic 
County
 By supporting no-cost resources for cats, we’re Keeping Families Together™!
 Alley Cat Allies helped develop a no-cost food bank for cats in Atlantic County, 
New Jersey, that has provided tens of thousands of pounds of dry cat food and 
hundreds of cases of canned food in just the past year. We provide food bank 
support in multiple communities to help both indoor and community cats.
 Looking for no-cost cat food near you? Our state-by-state Animal Food Bank 
Directory can help: alleycat.org/FoodBank.
 Adopted! Talley goes from the edge of death to a loving new home
 Watching Talley make biscuits, happy and comfortable, is incredibly gratifying—
because not long ago, she faced death in a shelter with a horrible lethal policy.
 Alley Cat Allies rescued Talley and provided her with the veterinary care, safe 
space, and love she needed to recover and show her true colors.
 We’re thrilled to announce that Talley recently found her forever home (and 
immediately relaxed into her new family’s hands!). Our amazing, compassionate 
supporters are the reason we can save cats like Talley every day, and we can’t 
thank you enough.
 Fire cats Mona and Phoenix are up for adoption
 If you’ve been following us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn, you know 
that Mona and Phoenix are survivors of the Texas Panhandle wildfires. The Alley 
Cat Allies Rapid Response team rescued them from the area with singed whiskers 
and smoke inhalation and ensured they recuperated with critical veterinary care.
 Now they’re feeling better and have shown their true, incredibly sweet 
personalities. They’re ready for the next step in their journey—could it be with 
your family?
 Adopt Mona
 Adopt Phoenix
 Rubble update after Texas wildfires
 You’d never guess that not long ago, Rubble was rescued with symptoms of 
smoke inhalation in the aftermath of the Texas Panhandle fires. He’s the sweetest 
and most chill guy!
 Alley Cat Allies took on Rubble’s care, as well as that of other fire-affected cats. 
That’s on top of providing critical support, veterinary care, and supplies for other 
indoor cats, community cats, and dogs impacted by the disaster.
 Throwback: Miso and her kittens
 Enjoy this throwback video of Miso and her kittens, Butternut, Bisque, Noodle, 
Chowder, Bouillon and adopted kitten Minestrone. From day one until adoption 
earlier this year, YOUR support protected them all!
