The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. From the Star Tribune : Feral cats win a round at Minneapolis City Hall. This got me wondering what other cities were doing.

Case in point: some of my family members have become active with feral cat colony organizations. I have mixed feelings about TNR. On the one hand, it’s better than doing nothing with a feral cat colony. And if a feral cat colony is near an endangered species, the colony should be eliminated.

From the American Bird Conservancy : The mayor of Albuquerque and the director of the city’s animal welfare department have been named in a lawsuit alleging that the officials have committed animal cruelty by allowing certain illegal and improper animal management practices to occur related to abandonment of stray cats. They do great work!
