No cat is an island
                     No cat is an island
 Tropical islands bring to mind warm breezes, the briny, calming scent of the 
ocean, and thriving flora and fauna. But for cats and kittens who are at home on 
many islands, their lives in paradise are threatened by lethal action at the hands 
of misguided governments.
 Alley Cat Allies is stepping up in several island communities to protect cats, 
challenge deadly policies, and train the next generation of our movement.
 Puerto Rico
 In a historic action, Alley Cat Allies filed a lawsuit against the U.S. National Park 
Service (NPS) to save San Juan’s community cats from eradication. We aim to put 
an end to NPS’s cruel, futile, and unlawful plan to remove and kill cats on federal 
lands in Puerto Rico.
 For generations, community cats have lived in peace along the rocky shores of 
the scenic Paseo Del Morro. They are adored by locals and tourists alike and are 
woven into the fabric of Puerto Rican culture. Now they face a deadly threat from 
the NPS, which is determined to rip the cats from their natural outdoor homes and 
their community, including by lethal means.
 Alley Cat Allies has worked with local advocates and connected with the local 
government to stop this deadly scheme. We’ve also provided a grant for Trap-
Neuter-Return (TNR), veterinary care, food, and other services for the Paseo del 
Morro cats.
 We won’t back down when cats’ lives are on the line.

 The Cayman Islands
 Alley Cat Allies does not stand silent as cats are scapegoated—and killed—for 
wildlife species loss because governments don’t want to confront the true cause: 
human-led development. For the past year and a half, we’ve condemned 
government removal and killing of Cayman Islands cats, and we continue to take 
measures to shield them from cruel and pointless lethal control.
 As we keep up the fight, we’re also leading the way with humane, effective policies. 
Our grants to local organizations are providing ongoing TNR and other critical care 
to hundreds of Cayman Islands cats and kittens. The gratitude of these cats’ 
caregivers and families is the proof: Cayman Islands residents care about their cats, 
and our voice on cats’ behalf is THEIR voice, too.

 Saint Kitts and Nevis
 Growing a powerful movement means ensuring the next generation is ready to take 
up the lifesaving mantle. That’s why we launched the Alley Cat Allies Veterinarian 
Training Program™, starting in the Caribbean islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis!
 In late March, Alley Cat Allies presented to students and licensed veterinarians at 
the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine about community cats, best 
practices for TNR, and unique veterinary and surgical techniques tailored to helping 
unowned cats who live outdoors. Some of these incredible students are already 
providing critical care and education to help cats on Saint Kitts and Nevis, and we’re 
proud to give them the tools for even greater success.
 Since our founding in 1990, Alley Cat Allies has guided veterinary professionals to 
develop best practices and familiarize themselves with treating community cats 
and carrying out TNR. The goal of our Veterinarian Training Program is to help 
both experienced and novice veterinarians bring the most effective TNR 
techniques to their communities to save more lives.
