Urgent Alert!
The city of Waukegan, Illinois has begun legally obstructing feral cat
caregivers. On Monday, June 7, 2004 the City Council passed an
ordinance that requires caregivers to buy a $100 annual license and keep the
feral cats they trap and spay/neuter in an enclosure. Caregivers are
considered owners and may also have to apply to the zoning board for a
kennel license.
This ordinance went into effect immediately after it was voted on and
will result in the killing of more cats while doing nothing to reduce
the cat overpopulation problem. Feral cat caregivers are not the problem,
they are a major part of the solution! The time and personal resources
caregivers spend in humanely and effectively reducing feral cat
populations through spay/neuter and adoption of kittens should be supported,
not condemned.
Please CALL and WRITE Waukeganâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s city aldermen and mayor. Ask them to
rescind this ill-conceived ordinance. Go here

information.
