Back in September, we sent out an action alert stating that Towson
University here in MD was going to trap and kill the cats on campus.
This information came from a faculty member and at the time, the
university was going to eradicate the colony; however, we are now
being told that the university has signed an agreement with Towson TNR
(a group of volunteers headed by faculty members) to implement a TNR
program instead!
ACR has received several emails regarding the situation and a petition
on the Care2 website. The petition pertaining to the Towson University
cats was created by another cat rescue, NOT ACR, and the petition has
since been closed due to the successful resolution. Therefore, please
pass on the great news and disregard the petition.
As always, thank you for taking action in protecting cats, and when
enough people ban together for a common cause, great things can
happen! If you wish to contact the school and thank them for agreeing
to TNR instead of killing the cats you may do so.
