The Fort Worth City Council is considering a Trap-Neuter-Return ordinance that will affect resident caregivers' right to care for feral cats by imposing fines and penalties and interfering with caregivers’ privacy by requiring them to register to care for a colony of cats.
Alley Cat Allies thinks the proposed ordinance is flawed. Instead of stabilizing the cat population, the ordinance's registration requirements and penalties for non-compliance will have the opposite effect. Fewer residents will do Trap-Neuter-Return for feral cats, resulting in an increase in the feral cat population in Fort Worth.

We urge you to reject the mandatory registration of citizen volunteers who donate their time and hard-earned money to do TNR, and adopt a version with Alley Cat Allies' revisions that will increase the amount of TNR performed and humanely address the feral cat population without unwarranted government intrusion.
