PFA can, and we are preparing to do battle on the issue of licensing for cats. This is very cost prohibitive for a volunteer based non-profit that takes in over 200 stray / homeless cats a year, fixes them and gets them homes!
PFA will be sending a delegation to petition City Council to consider further exemptions on licensing, fees and fines of all cats under our umbrella (whether tame or feral). Council will be voting on the proposed by-law revisions, which include an exemption for PFA feral cat licensing. A show of support from our membership base could be helpful.
The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, September 20th, in Henry Baker Hall, Main Floor, City Hall, 2476 Victoria Avenue, as well as will be broadcast live on Access Communications Channel 7.
Dedicated PFA supporters know how hard we work to pay for the spay/neuters of our rescued cats, considering we pay the full cost due to lack of a low-costs program in Regina. Imagine how our work will be impacted by the need to license every single feral cat and renew the license annually? Our rescues and TNR would be dramatically reduced and cats will continue to suffer and struggle for survival on the streets.
Please come out and show your support for the important rescue work we do!
