It isn't too late to help! Excerpted from: http://citykitties.org/2011/02/city-fails-windermere-tenants-pets-agai/
2. Support the Windermere trapping project. There is always a little hope. Last night, dedicated Project MEOW volunteers began setting traps in the area surrounding the building. Project MEOW will TNR any feral cats and release them in a safer area; City Kitties will place any friendly strays into foster care. You can help by donating food (canned or dry), old towels or blankets, and bleach (for cleaning traps) to Project MEOW. Email [email protected] or visit their facebook page for details.Become a City Kitties foster home so that we can help as many of these cats as possible. Please do NOT place cat food in the area around the building, as this will discourage cats from entering the traps.
3. Using the form at the bottom of this page, submit your name to be signed to a letter thanking George Bengal and his team of PSPCA humane officers. When we called George yesterday, he and an officer were on the scene right away. This is the kind of response that Windermere residents deserved from the City all along, and we should take the time to thank those individuals who actually worked on behalf of the tenants and their pets. City Kitties will be drafting this letter and submitting it to George and PSPCA CEO Sue Cosby in the coming week.
Just as the above story demonstrates Philadelphia at its worst, all of you demonstrate Philadelphia at its best. At the end of the day, eight animals have bright futures because of this effort: four cats were reunited with their owners, and two Windermere cats and two friendly strays will be placed in loving forever homes. Though it’s not the result we had all hoped for, it’s still a small victory. We want to thank everyone who has supported our efforts to rescue Windermere cats over the past month. We were overwhelmed by the support, information, advice, donations for rescued cats’ care, presence at protests, and generosity of the people around us. Special thanks to Project MEOW and Philadelphia Community Cats Council for loaning traps and expertise, and Enterprise CDC and Walnut Hill Community Association for helping us spread the word about the missing cats.
Sign the letter of thanks to PSPCA humane officers below. Your email address will not be added to any mailing lists. To sign the letter go to: http://citykitties.org/2011/02/city-fails-windermere-tenants-pets-agai/
